This shit doesn't even phase me anymore.
That statement is hilarious.
He doesn't even address the main issue of apparently having no idea how women get pregnant.
Women don't get pregnant, sluts get pregnant, duh.
I never heard a more wrong statement.

Lets hope his lead in the polls disappears.
Conservatives call for him to step down:

Believe me, I've been around enough conservative women to know that they blame the rape victim 99% of the time. They have a laundry list of reasons as to why someone is blamed for rape. Main reasoning is "I haven't been raped, hence everyone who has is a slut or was in an immoral situation".
I literally would not have eaten lunch for the past ~6 or so years if that program didn't exist.
I don't know what my response would be if this actually occured to someone

He only has until Tuesday to drop out for the GOP to be able to replace him, otherwise they're stuck with him.I don't know what I prefer -- Akin dropping out, causing momentary chaos but with the potential for a stronger candidate to replace him, or for him to stay in, have all of his funding dry up, and hopefully lose.

Eh...in fairness Reihan Salaam and Ramesh Pnooru are extremely level headed right wingers, not of the tea party persuasion.
In other words, RINOS.

In the 2000 election, Democratic challenger Mel Carnahan defeated John Ashcroft in spite of dying a few weeks earlier.

Akin released a statement:
it's clear that I misspoke in this interview and it does not reflect the deep empathy I hold for the thousands of women who are raped and abused every year.
32,000 rape pregnancies?
holy shit, what is wrong with the world?
Well it certainly doesn't sound like he's sorry.So what does he do? Do they just try to bide it out? Without that seat, it's almost impossible for them to win back the Senate.
I remember hearing this bullshit in college. Is some southern church spreading this bullshit that women can just will pregnancy away?
Slut shaming, unavailable clinics, demonizing abortion, lack of education and the idea that a non-person with "potential" is more important than the desires of the woman carrying it.
These kinds of people do not understand what science is. They believe that if they have an opinion that enough people agree with, it becomes scientific fact.
They also tend to try to force schools to stop teaching actual science.

Not sure if this has been mentioned in this thread but I believe the opposite is the case.
Rape is sadly more likely to result in pregnancy, at least I remember reading this.Victims of rape get legitimate pregnant?
Akin released a statement:
Rape is sadly more likely to result in pregnancy, at least I remember reading this.
"As a member of Congress, I believe that working to protect the most vulnerable in our society is one of my most important responsibilities, and that includes protecting both the unborn and victims of sexual assault. In reviewing my off-the-cuff remarks, it's clear that I misspoke in this interview and it does not reflect the deep empathy I hold for the thousands of women who are raped and abused every year. Those who perpetrate these crimes are the lowest of the low in our society and their victims will have no stronger advocate in the Senate to help ensure they have the justice they deserve.
"I recognize that abortion, and particularly in the case of rape, is a very emotionally charged issue. But I believe deeply in the protection of all life and I do not believe that harming another innocent victim is the right course of action. I also recognize that there are those who, like my opponent, support abortion and I understand I may not have their support in this election.
"But I also believe that this election is about a wide range of very important issues, starting with the economy and the type of country we will be leaving our children and grandchildren. We've had 42 straight months of unacceptably high unemployment, trillion-dollar deficits, and Democratic leaders in Washington who are focused on growing government, instead of jobs. That is my primary focus in this campaign and while there are those who want to distract from that, knowing they cannot defend the Democrats' failed economic record of the last four years, that will continue to be my focus in the months ahead."
