Note that this cartoon works precisely as well if you flip the two tickets. This is what high-powered political-cartooning operatives call a "target-rich environment" and what we random guys on the Internet call "lazy."
Ryan is DUMB. Ryan is against all abortions even in cases of rape, incest and when the health of the mother is in danger. Ryan wants to declare a fertilized egg as a person with all the rights of someone who is already born and fully developed. This would make most forms of birth control illegal and would also end in vitro fertilization. Romney was already losing the women's vote so why did he pick Ryan?
molljb: Your arguments are about picking Ryan for the ticket, which we all assume Romney did. So, if it's proof that anyone is dumb, it wouldn't be Ryan.
(And his Congressional colleagues, on both sides of the aisle, typically describe Ryan as a very smart, wonky guy.)
Please remember that the purpose of Editorial Explanations is to explain and to expand knowledge, rather than to engage in any partisan bickering. All cartoonists are completely correct, in their own worlds.
