“Newt defended him yesterday”

That is fine if Republican surrogates like Gingrich defend him. Romney and Ryan and the RNC should still stay far away, and not say anything, or provide any money.
If Akin can win on his own, that is fine. We likely need that seat to win back the Senate, and we likely need MO’s 10 EV’s to win POTUS.
The furor seems to have passed here, but it will start right back up if Romney/Ryan/RNC give him any kind of support. No one should be fooled into thinking otherwise.
We cannot give the Left fuel to energize their base, de-energize our base, and win sympathy for the independents.
The Akin “conroversy” brought out just how many will murder innocent babies.
If you allow the rape and incest exceptions you are simply setting vague limits on whic innocent baies you will murder.
No question is more fundamental than “are you comfortable with killing a baby to make your own life or someone else’s life more materially satisfying ?”
