Your daily jolt: Gingrey open to limits on mag clips, says Todd Akin was ‘partly right’
Schmoozing with constituents in Smyrna on Thursday, U.S. Rep. Phil Gingrey, R-Marietta, had already made news when he said that he was open to some new restrictions on firearms. From the first five paragraphs written by Jon Gillooly of the Marietta Daily Journal:
“There are some problems, and maybe these huge magazines even for someone who says, ‘look, I just use an AR-15 for target practice,’ but do you really need to be standing there shooting at a silhouette a shot a second or even quicker with that kind of weapon? For what purpose?” Gingrey asked. “I would be willing to listen to the possibility of the capacity of a magazine.”
Gingrey, who took the time to praise Adventure Outdoors owner Jay Wallace as the gold standard for running a responsible gun retail business, said he is also open to revisions of the so-called gun show loophole.
But then the Marietta congressman decided to wax eloquent on the most egregious Republican misstep of 2012 – the concept of “legitimate rape.” Gingrey said today that his remarks have been misconstrued, but you can listen to the audio provided by Gillooly:
Said Gingrey, in Gillooly’s piece:
“And in Missouri, Todd Akin … was asked by a local news source about rape and he said, ‘Look, in a legitimate rape situation’ — and what he meant by legitimate rape was just look, someone can say I was raped: a scared-to-death 15-year-old that becomes impregnated by her boyfriend and then has to tell her parents, that’s pretty tough and might on some occasion say, ‘Hey, I was raped.’ That’s what he meant when he said legitimate rape versus non-legitimate rape. I don’t find anything so horrible about that. But then he went on and said that in a situation of rape, of a legitimate rape, a woman’s body has a way of shutting down so the pregnancy would not occur. He’s partly right on that.”
Gingrey pointed out that he had been an OB-GYN since 1975.
“And I’ve delivered lots of babies, and I know about these things. It is true. We tell infertile couples all the time that are having trouble conceiving because of the woman not ovulating, ‘Just relax. Drink a glass of wine. And don’t be so tense and uptight because all that adrenaline can cause you not to ovulate.’ So he was partially right wasn’t he? But the fact that a woman may have already ovulated 12 hours before she is raped, you’re not going to prevent a pregnancy there by a woman’s body shutting anything down because the horse has already left the barn, so to speak. And yet the media took that and tore it apart.”
Gingrey’s office this morning offered additional commentary. On the congressman’s comments about Akin:
“At a breakfast yesterday morning, I was asked why Democrats made abortion a central theme of the presidential campaign. I do not defend, nor do I stand by, the remarks made by Rep. Akin and Mr. Mourdock. In my attempt to provide context as to what I presumed they meant, my position was misconstrued.”
On firearm restrictions:
“As a father and grandfather, I am heartbroken at the tragedy in Newtown. No parent, child, or community should have to suffer such devastation and overwhelming grief. At the same time, as we begin a national dialogue on how to prevent future tragedies, it is of paramount importance to defend our Second Amendment rights. Throughout my political career, I’ve been a tireless advocate of Second Amendment rights and will continue to be one moving forward.”
***
House Speaker David Ralston didn’t sound like he’s willing to consider any gun restrictions, given these remarks to Scott Slade of AM750 and 95.5FM News/Talk WSB:
”Those who would advocate for control on guns and would restrict Second Amendment rights, I think have inappropriately capitalized on a horrific tragedy up in Newtown, Conn….
“If we take anything out of the Newtown tragedy, I think we ought to take a look at how we handle mental illness in our society. That seems to get lost in the discussion by those who want to use this to promote their anti-gun agenda.”
***
Georgia Right to Life on Thursday named Mike Griffin, a Hartwell pastor, as the organization’s vice president.
Griffin has long been associated with GRTL, but the promotion means he’ll be back at the Capitol as a lobbyist on Monday, when the 2013 session of the Georgia General Assembly begins. From the press release:
In his new role, Griffin will spearhead the organization’s legislative activities, which include establishing “personhood” protection for all innocent life from conception until natural death.
“I am looking forward to working with Dan Becker and the Board,” Griffin said. “And that work will be to continue to promote a “personhood” approach to Georgia Right to Life’s education, legislation and political action.”
Consider Griffin’s appointment to be a signal to the Legislature that GRTL, the most aggressive of pro-life organizations at the Gold Dome, has no intention of changing its stripes.
***
In the matter of the Rev. Louie Giglio and his withdrawal from the presidential inauguration program because of his 20-year-old remarks on homosexuality, the Christian Post offers this quote from Ed Stetzer, president of Lifeway Research:
“This Louie Giglio Moment, and the Chick-Fil-A moment that preceded it, and the Rick Warren moment which preceded that, raise the question: Where do people of faith with long-standing traditional religious/scriptural convictions go from here?”
But Giglio and Chick-Fil-A may share more than a commitment to faith and views on homosexuality. We haven’t confirmed it with the company, but friends of Giglio tell us that his dad, Louie Floyd Giglio Jr., was a graphic designer who had a hand in developing the Chick-Fil-A swirly logo.

A Politico.com piece on the shaky future of the tea party includes these paragraphs:
The tea party “is in disarray,” said Erick Erickson, the editor of RedState, a blog that helped crystallize the fiscally conservative ethos of the populist movement. Going forward, tea partiers will “either be within the conservative movement as part of that movement or they won’t be effective.”
Polls have shown Americans turning away from the tea party: 24 percent of likely voters considered themselves tea party members in April 2010, according to a Rasmussen survey. Now, only 8 percent say they’re tea party members.
***
Yes, “Lincoln” dominated those Oscar nominations that were released on Thursday. But politicos have their own Oscars – the Reed Awards sponsored by Campaigns & Elections magazine. And Georgia’s 2012 campaigners are finalists in several categories:
– Best Use of Voice-Over Talent: Lee Anderson for Congress, The Strategy Group for Media, for its video depicting a “Bromance” between President Barack Obama and U.S. Rep. John Barrow, D-Augusta.
– Mail: Independent Expenditure Campaign or Issue Advocacy: The Democratic campaign against state Rep. Doug McKillip, R-Athens, Mad Dog Mail, for a flyer comparing McKillip to a diaper in need of changing.
– Best Radio Ad: Two ads by Franklin Communications/Peachtree Battle Group – “Dumb,” a turn-out spot for Black Men Vote; and “Obama Likes Charter Schools,” aimed at African-American voters in the November charter school campaign.
– Toughest Radio Ad: A turnout spot by Franklin Communications/Peachtree Battle Group for Better Georgia, titled “Are There Any Patriots…”
– Most Original/Innovative Collateral Item: John Lewis for Congress, for that campaign’s fund-raising decision to put a mugshot of Lewis after a Civil Rights-era arrest on T-shirts and posters.
Winners will be announced in Washington on Feb. 1.

Dear Republicans: When it comes to the topic of rape, please STFU. Stop trying to come up with different classifications. Rape is rape, and leave it at that.
It cracks me up whenever neo-cons blame Democrats for making abortion a central campaign theme. Last time I checked, it was the GOP that passed or tried to pass wave after wave of abortion legislation.

DJ Sniper,
You entirely missed the point: many women claim “rape” when in fact they consented. That’s not a legitimate rape, that’s a false claim. For example, the Duke lacrosse case.
So STFU with your one-size-fits-all-we-are-not-allowed-to-think answer.

While it is true that some women will cry rape after they did consent, the fact remains that Akin’s remarks didn’t apply to this. That whole like about a woman’s body shutting down pregnancy in a
“legitimate rape” was GOP lunacy at its finest.

That is NOT what Akin meant by the “legitimate rape” comment, you need to read the whole thing. He said that if a woman is legitimately raped, she cannot get pregnant from that, that her body has a way of “taking care of that.”

The Rapepublican position on babies always confuses me.
Fetuses = best thing EVAR. All should be carried to term, especially dead ones, rapey ones, incestuous ones, and three headed ones. Miscarriages should be investigated and doctors shot in church (don’t miss!).
Rape Babies = special gift from Jesus. Having one proves it wasn’t really rape.
Poor folks’ babies = intolerable welfare burden, should starve.
Anchor babies = worst thing EVAR. The Constitution should have a “no Hispanics allowed” clause.
Baby President Barack Obama = born in Kenya, socialist Muslim usurper.
Educating babies = YEAH RIGHT

You secularists should be (figuratively, of course) in heaven since abortions are essentially unfettered in this country. Oh, I know, you still can’t abort a child who was recently delivered (as the president has supported) but we know you won’t give up. (Question: doesn’t the Free Contraceptive Party ever use the OCs for which they advocate? Shouldn’t the number of abortions be declining dramatically?)
55 million aborted babies since R v. W: Another liberal accomplishment.

The bigger problem is that there exists a need for serious, logical discussions of issues like this but idealogues on both sides will do their best to frame the discussion in such a way to suppprt their own opinion, regardless of any consquences.
Rape and abortion are serious issues and require honest discussion without all the shouting and partisan rancor. Gun legislation-same thing. Mental health issues-Yep, same thing again. Its a shame that we and our politicians refuse to have a meaningful, thoughtful dialogue about these without politicizing every point and villifying anyone who dares to disagree with us.

It’ll come out in the wash, as they say, if rape was unjustly cried.

Question: Why is it that the only loud voices are the paranoid ones insisting on “saving” the Second Amendment. Is no one interested in the 14th or any of the others? Let’s see-you can be stopped while driving, your car searched, arrested on a trumped up charge, stripped & searched (including a cavity search) and jailed until you get a hearing, where the charges can be upheld, go to trial and be declared not guilty or have the charges dismissed. You miss work or lose your job and suffer the consequences of that. Who stands up for your rights? NO ONE!!. Why are there no people trumpeting this as a gross violation of rights while IT IS GOING ON EVERYDAY, but the gun rights people are screaming about the possibility of a limit on high capacity magazines or a semi-automatic rifle or the closing of a loophole at gun shows which allow activity that is illegal at a bricks and mortar business? That is insanity
RE: Mental Illness-it is imprecisely defined, and very subjective diagnostically. Does this mean that if some goes on antidepressants after a death in the family, or a child is diagnosed with dyslexia or other learning problems or a trauma survivor who has PTSD are mentally ill? we used to have a community mental health system in this country partially funded and supported by the Federal Govenment. Alas, that was give over to the States (and we see what happened to that system). Try working the mental health approach out in Washington DC. Fat chance.
The gun issue cannot be solved by taking guns away. It is like illegal immigration reform by building a 25 foot high wall across the entire border-way too expensive and impossible to prevent 100% “illegal aliens” entries. It will take a comprehensive, wide ranging approach with common sense limitations, compassionate service systems and far ranging thinking. We hired these people through our votes. They have done nothing to deserve our confidence or trust. All of us need to call, write and/or visit our elected officials and tell them how unhappy we are with their ineffective, stupid and ultimately ignorant efforts. Some of our elected officials are individually brilliant people-collectively they function at a moronic level.

Every Republican (and Democrat for that matter) who is withholding funding for the hurricane victims in the Northeast should IMMEDIATELY be recalled in EVERY State. They seem to forget this same type of natural event may happen to THEIR citizens (as it already has in many Southern States, and THEIR voters benefited IMMEDIATELY). What goes around comes around. In fact, the NE contributes more money to the fund than any other region in the Country, yet THEIR funds are being withheld by the Republicans. RECALL EVERY ONE OF THE NOW NATIONALLY.
The same thing goes for the ban on assault weapons. Over 90% of Americans WANT a ban on assault weapons, yet Republican, who are getting FUNDED by the NRA, are BLOCKING ALL attempts to get legislation introduced. 90% of ALL AMERICANS.
They have already held America hostage with the fiscal cliff, and are doing so yet again, which risks ALL WORKING CLASS AMERICANS, retirement accounts because the stock markets will TANK AGAIN if the Republicans pull their antics again THEY won’t be effected, nor will THEIR RICH SUPPORTERS.

I simply cannot believe Phil Gingrey ever passed medical school and was allowed to practice medicine. I don’t know how anybody with a functioning brain cell can defend Akin’s “legitmate rape” comment in any way shape, form nor fashion. There are occasional false rape claims, but they are few and far between. Rape is one of the most UNDER reported crimes in the United States and the world. To cite one false rape claim from the Duke lacrosse case to make a point about false rape claims out the thousands of reported and unreported rape cases across the United States is lunacy.

Other research indicates that stress may have an impact on other aspects of fertility beyond ovulation, including problems with fertilization and implantation in the uterus. One study from the University of California San Diego found that the most stressed women undergoing IVF had less success every step of the way (fewer eggs retrieved and fewer eggs successfully implanted) compared to women who were not as tense. Another study from Israeli researchers tested whether helping women de-stress while undergoing IVF could impact the success rate. They found that women who were entertained by a clown after they received the treatment (laughter is a known stress-soother) were more likely to conceive than those who were not.
So if you’re looking to get knocked up, come to this blog and read all the clown liberal comments, they’re a hoot.

Good lord. When will GOPers ever figure out to shut the h#ll up? There is nothing you can add to Mr. Akin or Mr. Mourdock’s dialogue that makes it make any sense at all. As far as limiting gun magazines, what difference will that make? I’ve seen videos of guys changing out magazines in 1.5 seconds. How is that going to make a difference in a place like Newtown, CT? As much as I hate to repeat this somewhat stupid, yet true statement “The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is to have a good guy with a gun”.
Any legistation on guns is ‘feel good’ stuff anyway. Columbine happened during the last ‘assault rifle’ ban. Newtown happened when a mother who obviously knew of her son’s lack of mental capacity, left her legally owned guns where he could get them. Va Tech shooter was mentally unstable and his professors knew it. Same with Aurora, CO shooter.
BTW – there is no “Gun Show Loophole”. What they want is to criminalize the sale of firearms between two private individuals. And they want to have registration of all firearms and the people who own them. Then they will come a’knockin’.

Oh, and when you bring abortion into the debate on guns, it makes your argument less effective. Without the second admendment protected and in place, governments could start aborting more than fetuses to achieve their goals. Are you going to expect this government, which can’t even produce or live by a budget, be your protector? Government isn’t interested in the individual, so expect to take care of yourself.
