Missouri Republican Rep. Todd Akin – Vying For The U.S. Senate Seat Now Held By Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill
.
Apparently, the Republicans not only believe in “De-Evolution” but they obviously have no trouble putting it into practice.
.
Let’s give a rousing + warm welcome to the latest Republican “Poster Boy” – the mild-mannered looking boy scout from Missouri – Rep. Todd Akin.
.
It seems that Missouri Republican Rep. Todd Akin (not a doctor) likens rape as consisting of two sorts – the “legitimate” kind and (by default) the not-so “legitimate”. I don’t know if I’m correct, but my interpretation of Rep. Akin’s remarks yesterday is this – that as long as a woman doesn’t conceive as a result of being raped then there is no real “legitimate” rape at issue. Huh???
.
Basically, Rep. Akin dismisses the possibility of a rape victim bearing a child simply by “deducing” that the female body will inherently “shut down” and prevent that event from ever occurring.
.
And this guy wants to run for and hold office in the U.S. Senate.
