TRANSCRIPT: NBC's BRIAN WILLIAMS’ INTERVIEW WITH REP. PAUL RYAN
30 Aug 2012 6:24 PM

BRIAN WILLIAMS:
A lot of your speech was devoted to leadership. That could also be construed as ownership. Are you prepared to leave this gathering and own the fact that the platform of this party allows a woman who has been raped no exception but to carry that child to term?

PAUL RYAN:
Well, I think the platform is-- is silent on that particular issue. Mitt Romney has a position on this. The president of the United States sets the policy. And Mitt Romney's position is that there are exceptions for rape, incest, and life of the mother.

BRIAN WILLIAMS:
There's no exception in the platform.

PAUL RYAN:
Well, I think the platform's silent either one way or the other on that. The platform-- of which I think is a great document. I'm proud of the platform-- it's something that produced by the delegates, and the president of the United States sets policy on this issue. And Mitt Romney's policy is well known.

BRIAN WILLIAMS:
Well, I ask about this because it's the third cycle now where there's a disconnect between the platform and the candidate running. And in a business where you and your opponent are trying to attract especially suburban women. Does it send the right message?

PAUL RYAN:
You know, I think what suburban women are mostly worried about is jobs. I mean, look who got hit hardest in this economy. It's women. Poverty among women is at a 17-year high. Women are worried about the education of their children, they're worried about economic growth and opportunity. They're worried about the fact that we're mortgaging their kids' futures. So, that's what most women are asking us about.
