I still think it is somewhat comical in some senses about the democrats talking about the" Republican's war on women" and yet they had Clinton of all people at their convention. in that sense its a bit ironic.

There is a bit of a difference between Lewinski and banning abortions under every single condition, cutting funding to programs that help women and a dozen other things.  Just because Clinton may of had or has issues, doesn't change GOP policy.

Actually some would say your charge is actually "desperate":

in reading the article which...Trying to compare Todd Akin with Paul Ryan? They may have similar policy positions on abortion however trying to tie Akin (whose belief that during a "legitimate rape" the "womens body has ways to shut that whole thing down" regarding impregnating) to the beliefs of most Republicans is just a narrative designed on the left to try to make most Republican politicians seem like extremists. After that incident nearly every single prominent Republican leader in the party condemned his comments and told him to leave the race. I have heard recently his campaign is now out of money.

There is no way even if Republicans gain control of government that all abortions will become illegal. I just simply don't see that ever happening. Even Romney's personal position is for allowing abortions in cases of rape, incest, and life of the mother. The farthest I could ever see any anti-abortion laws going are on certain restrictions of abortions. the vast majority of Americans when polled are completely against abortions once a pregnancy is in the third trimester. As long as most Americans are for allowing abortions in some cases It would be extremely unlikely that even Republicans controlling all of government would go against the will of American people and outlaw all abortions. There are in fact a decent number of Republicans that are not for outlawing abortions in all cases. outlawing all abortions will never happen in American unless the majority of Americans are for that and will therefore elect a majority of politicians who are for that.

I also found it interesting that while Republicans are blamed for the war on women and being "racist" there were still attendees at the DNC wearing things like this....

  

And This...

 

Imagine if the Republicans had these at the RNC...We might not hear the end of it on the news.
