From 1999. Interesting.
Turns out the article’s author is the former head of the National Right to Life Committee and first espoused this opinion in 1985. As I’ve said elsewhere, this article is not an isolated piece. His opinion on rape and pregnancy is all over the web on tons of pro-life sites. Akin was espousing what’s considered common knowledge among pro-life organizations. They may be wrong, I don’t know, but he’s not stupid, or crazy, or anything like that.
