But Daily Caller Senior Contributor Matt Lewis\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2015\/08\/10\/im-worried-about-rubios-abortion-stance\/\">watched him there and at the debate and declared<\/a> he was \u201cworried about Rubio\u2019s abortion stance\u201d:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">As I\u2019ve long argued, the pro-life side wins when the discussion is about late-term abortions, but loses when it\u2019s about things like \u201clegitimate rape,\u201d \u201ctransvaginal ultrasounds,\u201d etc.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Well, then, it\u2019s a good thing the only pro-life politician to shoot off his mouth about \u201clegitimate rape\u201d was one candidate <a href=\"http:\/\/hotair.com\/greenroom\/archives\/2012\/08\/22\/missouri-voters-chose-akin-not-so-much\/\">most of the voters in his own primary didn&#8217;t actually want<\/a> three years ago. And it&#8217;s a good thing that pro-aborts are the ones obsessed with how ultrasounds are administered, even when the pro-life laws in question <a href=\"\/news\/associated-press-virginia-ultrasound-bill\/\">don&#8217;t actually mention vaginas<\/a>, never mind that <a href=\"\/news\/president-of-now-equates-ultrasounds-to-rape-outright-lies-to-gain-support\/\">transvaginal ultrasounds are already routine in abortions<\/a>\u2014they just don\u2019t want to flip the screen around and share the image of the preborn child\u00a0with the pregnant woman.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Yet, here \u2014 on the heels of the Planned Parenthood videos about harvesting the organs of babies! \u2014 we had Rubio talking about opposing exceptions in the case of rape. I was stunned[.]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Stunned that he didn\u2019t lie when asked point-blank? Rubio didn\u2019t bring it up. What was he supposed to do?<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">The real problem, of course, was that Hillary Clinton could now run an ad saying that: \u201cMarco Rubio wants to deny you the right to choose, even in the case of rape!\u201d \u2014 and not really be lying [\u2026] Let\u2019s be honest, this is basically the best card Hillary will have to play.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Lewis concedes that \u201cif you believe that life begins at conception and that abortion is murder, then allowing for exceptions is somewhat incoherent,\u201d and that \u201cRubio is rhetorically equipped to make this case in the most eloquent and persuasive manner possible,\u201d yet still wonders, \u201cwhy is he making it?\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Why are we talking about rape exceptions? Why aren\u2019t we talking about Planned Parenthood harvesting and selling the organs of babies??? My argument is that when you\u2019re talking about rape exceptions, you\u2019re playing on the other team\u2019s turf. Let\u2019s get around to worrying about debating this somewhat rare occurrence after we stop them from killing 20-week-old babies for the sake of convenience.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>These are concerns to which I am <a href=\"\/news\/lessons-of-2012-pro-life-politicians-must-prepare-better-for-the-rape-question\/\">not unsympathetic<\/a>. It\u2019s of course wise to <a href=\"\/news\/discuss-abortion-rape-without-getting-accused-akin-moments\/\">focus as much of the conversation as possible<\/a> on the aspects of abortion where pro-lifers enjoy the most popular consensus and pro-aborts the least. The less a pro-life candidate\u2019s talking about rape abortions, the better.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_68952\" style=\"width: 294px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-68952\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-68952\" src=\"https:\/\/www.liveactionnews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Hillary-Clinton-Planned-Parenthood-NRTLNews.jpg\" alt=\"Hillary Clinton (via Gateway Pundit)\" width=\"284\" height=\"181\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-68952\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hillary Clinton (via Gateway Pundit)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>But here\u2019s the thing: Hillary would run that ad anyway.

There will always be a new rationalization for why yesterday\u2019s women-sensitive accommodation is today\u2019s slap in the face to rape victims.<\/p>\n<p>There is no avoiding the fact that whoever the nominee is, whatever he has or hasn\u2019t said before, he\u2019s going to get asked whether he would deny abortions to rape victims. And changing the subject to avoid direct questions <a href=\"http:\/\/www.realclearpolitics.com\/video\/2015\/07\/30\/chris_matthews_to_debbie_wasserman_schultz_whats_the_difference_between_a_democrat_and_a_socialist.html\">just comes across as grating and phony<\/a>, and leaves the unmistakable impression that the candidate has something to hide\u2014probably because what they\u2019re hiding is something the American people should fear.<\/p>\n<p>So while not without its risks, preparing a <a href=\"\/news\/behold-the-anti-akin-njs-jeff-bell-turns-the-tables-on-cory-booker-over-hard-case-abortions\/\">serious pro-life answer to the rape question<\/a> is actually the safest course, politically. In Rubio&#8217;s case,\u00a0he smartly responded to Clinton&#8217;s accusation that he has an &#8220;offensive&#8221; &#8220;attitude toward women&#8221; by pointing out her extreme support for partial-birth abortion and taxpayer funding for Planned Parenthood, and opposition to parental notification.<\/p>\n<p>How can anyone know that intelligently-articulated courage fails, when we&#8217;ve never actually witnessed Republicans trying it before?<\/p>\n<p>Sure, some voters will be scared off by uncompromising talk on rape exceptions, but if Rubio paired\u00a0his above remarks with a compassionate yet firm effort to humanize innocent people conceived in rape, how do we know how many wouldn&#8217;t reconsider their own notions of &#8220;mainstream&#8221;?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most of us were pretty impressed this week to watch\u00a0Marco Rubio school Chris Cuomo on rape exceptions, pro-life incrementalism, and embryology without breaking a sweat.
