Almost every week, Republicans join a competition to see who can say the most outlandish things, and in the process, they push the envelope on just how lunatic InsaniTEA can become.  I trust that you will believe it, when I tell you that last week was no exception.<\/font><\/p>\n

4. Religious right leaders are glad that the whole idea of punishing women for having abortions is now out in the open.<\/h6>\n

\"0403WoW\"Although Donald Trump has completed his 180 on the topic of making abortion illegal and making women who have one criminals, he sure got the religious right all hopped up about that possibility.<\/p>\n

Pat Robertson seemed to struggle a bit with the issue. While he acknowledged that it seems \u201ca bit draconian\u201d to punish women, the fact is, \u201cif somebody says abortion is murder, then what do you do to somebody who commits murder?\u201d<\/p>\n

Uncle Pat\u2019s just asking. Just wondering. Just a little idle chitchatting.<\/p>\n

Another right-wing charmer seemed much less perplexed about it. Jay Sekulow of the misleadingly named American Center for Law and Justice, a legal group Robertson founded, said if Roe v. Wade is overturned, states can just start making laws on how women can be punished! Yeehah!<\/p>\n

RightWingWatch reported extensively on Sekulow\u2019s comments<\/a> if you\u2019re game to get even more terrified\u2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
