KANSAS CITY, Mo. — In an effort to explain his stance on abortion, Representative Todd Akin, the Republican Senate nominee from Missouri, provoked ire across the political spectrum on Sunday by saying that in instances of what he called “legitimate rape,” women’s bodies somehow blocked an unwanted pregnancy.

Asked in an interview on a St. Louis television station about his views on abortion, Mr. Akin, a six-term member of Congress who is backed by Tea Party conservatives, made it clear that his opposition to the practice was nearly absolute, even in instances of rape.

“It seems to me, from what I understand from doctors, that’s really rare,” Mr. Akin said of pregnancies from rape. “If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down."



Just wondering why there isn't a "Todd Akin" thread???
He is such a Stu Pidassole!

You are late to the party. A thread on that topic was already started.

See http://mingle2.com/topic/show/334612

and that was some party too.

Yeah, and when I told you that you had enough to drink, did you listen to me?
Nooooo.
So, don't blame me if those embarrassing photos of you are seen by everyone.

Especially this one.
