From 2000 ... note the fear-inducing language, and the fact that the allowing abortion to stand as a part of women's health procedures would create a hole big enough for every woman wanting an ad hoc abortion.
By the way, having an abortion is not something women take lightly. And having a late-term abortion is something that is usually done for the health of the mother and because there may be something terribly wrong with the child.
As The American Prospect says:-
More seriously, if there’s anything that places you on the radical end of the abortion debate, it’s opposition to measures meant to save mothers from dying as a result of pregnancies gone wrong. Indeed, this is actually the least of Ryan’s anti-abortion extremism. During his 12-year career in the House of Representatives, Ryan has endorsed several measures that would ban abortion and greatly restrict women’s access to reproductive health care, even if their health is in immediate danger.
Read the rest of the article to find out how many "personhood" bills Ryan either supported or produced in Congress. As the piece says, Todd Akin has a 90% rating from the National Right to Life Committee.
Paul Ryan has a 100% rating.
