Limerick Ode To Richard Mourdoch
Every time I think Republicans couldn’t possibly get crazier or more extreme about banning abortion, someone like Indiana’s Richard Mourdoch proves me wrong.
By now, the would-be senator’s bizarre comments about abortion and rape, and his non-apology apology are all too familiar. So is the fact that Romney has refused to withdraw his endorsement and his pro-Mourdoch ad.
So I’ll simply leave you with this serious limerick:
Limerick Ode To Richard Mourdoch
By Madeleine Begun Kane
By Mourdoch, I’m shocked — left agape:
He claims if you’re pregnant from rape,
It’s a God-given gift.
So how dare you be miffed!
Your future’s not yours to reshape.

ugh…went political today myself….getting a little scarier by the day…just waiting to see what village idiot will speak up today…
Some Republican guy named Mourdock
Emerged from a cave a feared warlock
He said from a rape
No woman can escape
Though conception may leave her in shock.
A life cannot be aborted
Says Mourdock in words contorted
God he avers is OK
With a woman suffering each day
Through a life that rape has distorted.
Definitely scarier!
Thanks for your verse, John!
