  • Republicans Approve Anti-Abortion Campaign Platform

  •   The party's anti-abortion pledge does not include exceptions in cases of rape or incest, putting it at odds with the views of likely Republican nominee Mitt Romney.
  • 共和黨反對墮胎的主張沒有把因強姦和亂倫而施行的墮胎排除在外,因此與該黨總統候選人羅姆尼的立場有所抵觸。

  •   The platform also calls for a constitutional amendment that would grant an unborn child a fundamental right to life that cannot be infringed.

  •   Candidates are not required to support their party's statement of beliefs.

  • 共和黨是星期二通過這項競選綱領的;同一天,共和黨眾議員埃金宣佈,他將繼續競選密蘇裏州參議員。

  •   Akin had come under harsh criticism for his remarks earlier this week that "legitimate rape" does not lead to an unwanted pregnancy.
  • 埃金本星期早些時候發表 “法定強姦” 並不會導致意外懷孕的言論之後,遭到嚴厲批評。

  •   Many Republican leaders, including Romney himself, demanded that Akin withdraw from the race, fearing the controversy would endanger the party's chances of taking control of the Senate.
  • 包括羅姆尼在內的很多共和黨領導人要求埃金退出參議員競選,他們擔心埃金的言論引發的爭論將危及共和黨取得參議院控制權的機會。
