What does matter is what he said. And what he said was basically that if a woman was "legitimately" raped, her body can "shut that down" and she won't get pregnant.<br /><br />Regardless if some quack said it, he was moronic enough to repeat it. That level of stupidity alone should prevent him from being a Senator. We have enough stupidity in DC. Add in that just about anyone with a R after there name could have beaten McCaskill until this... Since he feels his own friggin ego is too important than falling on his sword and makes that 51 in the Senate to repeal ObamaCare more difficult tells me far more about his character. He is just another self serving politician, not a public servant.neomomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04830635556787370135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12897315.post-5013642259505694902012-08-23T06:54:34.252-05:002012-08-23T06:54:34.252-05:00Let's take it from the top.
Akin's "...Let's take it from the top.<br /><br />Akin's "legitimate" qualifier had to do with the legal aspects: whether it was a rape in the commonly-accepted sense (i.e., intent, forcible, or statutory) as opposed to the "made-up rape" where a woman decides that she didn't really consent, or gets pregnant w/boyfriend and claims "rape" to obtain an abortion under the 'rape/incest' clause.<br /><br />Naturally, the (D)s and their lapdog MSM ignored or twisted that. So did a lot of (R)s for one reason or another.<br /><br />His 'rejection' theory actually HAS been propounded by an MD who was affiliated with a national right-to-life group. The MD was not an OB/GYN. <br /><br />That portion of his statement was moronic. Akin shoulda known that the theory was an outlier at best.<br /><br />Finally we get to the REAL problem: Akin proposes that some babies should be killed because of the sin of their fathers. THAT is where we see all the cockroaches running from the light, including Rom/Ryan and hundreds of other pols.<br /><br />So. We agree that one-third of Akin's remarks were unfounded at best--albeit he was parroting what some MD actually wrote.<br /><br />What makes it "toxic" is that politicians could be forced to admit that some babies are going to be killed b/c of either false claims of "rape" or because they just happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, so to speak.<br /><br />And politicians HATE to admit what is true and then take a stance on it.Dad29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08554276286736923821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12897315.post-88029407645977772502012-08-22T22:34:56.040-05:002012-08-22T22:34:56.040-05:00I agree we can still get to 50+ without MO, but, l...I agree we can still get to 50+ without MO, but, like it or not, Akin made the entire topic toxic. Somehow, that moron has now interjected an ignorance of biology as the same as not believing in abortion in any circumstance. In other words, if you don't believe in a rape exception, then you must believe that it couldn't have been a real rape because a woman's body can block rape sperm donchya know?<br /><br />The last thing R/R should do is take that national.neomomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04830635556787370135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12897315.post-20903243184702282142012-08-22T10:25:54.570-05:002012-08-22T10:25:54.570-05:00Actually, that's wrong.

Only politicians are bothered by it.Dad29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08554276286736923821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12897315.post-46198231325208546892012-08-22T10:18:56.081-05:002012-08-22T10:18:56.081-05:00Think political strategery.
