“You know, I would encourage people to sit down and watch the video,” Cameron advised “You know, he clearly is a pro-life advocate, and for that, I respect him.”
“He said that he misspoke and that he mis-phrased something, and he apologized,” the actor-turn-evangelist added. “I’m the kind of person that believes that I would like to be evaluated by my entire career and my entire life, not two words that I would misspeak and then later apologize for. So, he’s in a tough spot.”
"He's Pro-Life" even if that means he's pretty clearly "
Anti-Women" in the process, so sure - that's a reason to "respect" him. But here's the thing...
HE. Didn't. MISSpeak
As many have pointed out, if you were to evaluate Todd Akin's career, his comments about women having a way to "shut that whole [pregnancy] thing down" during a Rape - even though as the Morning After Pill Show, a woman can become pregnant up to three days later - his words are entirely consistent with his voting record.
Just as they are entirely consistent with Kirk Cameron's words.
Because here's the kicker, Kirk Cameron - like many Evangelical Christians who are now the base of the GOP and the Tea Party - also opposes Abortion under All Circumstances including Rape or Incest -as shown her in his conversation with Piers Morgan.
And that Homosexuality is "Unnatural" and "Detrimental to Society".
I can't top how Lewis Black responded to all of this.
Black: It's a total contradiction, it's "Freedom" within their limitations of what freedom should be. So if you make a choice outside... and you don't even make the choice to be gay, when do they catch on to that?. Why do they not.. what is there problem with Science? To live.. where in the Future Now, this is the 21st Century. It should be Science Fiction at this point, they just have the Fiction. Were they beaten by Nerds in Chemistry Class? Did they burn their hands on bunson burners?
But his response wasn't just about gay people, he also reacted to the Rape and Abortion comments.
And how they feel about the Rape, and if your daughter was to get an abortion. the whole abortion issue. Once again I don't understand about Christians.. if you believe it, then those people are already going to Hell So why are you working so hard [Piers Laughs}.. the deal is already done, Let'em make their choice
Yes, let people make their choice because y'now what - people
choose to be Christian and all the rest of us are suppose to "Respect" that choice. Too bad they can't respect the choices of anyone else, unless those people are Todd Akin.
