How to get fetus fetishists to STFU

Ask them about the 'forcible rape' language in the proposed Rapist Protection Act.
Anti-abortion politicians aren't the only ones keeping quiet about H.R. 3 since the forcible rape language came to light. Calls to numerous anti-abortion groups, including National Right To Life, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, Americans United For Life, the Susan B. Anthony List and the Abstinence Clearinghouse were either unreturned or met with "no comment."

The closest I got to a comment was from the Susan B. Anthony List, a strongly social conservative group last seen calling on the candidates to for chair of the Republican National Committee to weigh in on life and the sanctity of heterosexual marriage. A spokesperson for SBA told me leaders of the group would be willing to get back to me "later this week," when he promised SBA leaders would have "much more informed comments on the topic."

For now, however, the spokesperson said SBA was yet another "no comment" in a long list of abortion foes uninterested in going on the record about the controversial language in a bill they've touted as the first step toward a Republican-led, pro-life House of Representatives.

Imagine. A notion so repulsive that even hardcore fetus fetishists won't go there.

Join in the Dear John Twitter campaign to help ensure that fetus fetishists wear this one. Forever.

I can't wait to see how they spin this, because you can rest assured they won't be walking it back. Whatever the spin is, it will make them look even worse than they do now. Which works for me.
