I can tell you the footsoldiers on the pro-Life front line (the people who actually put themselves out there for the cause) are not happy with Akin and want him GONE. They certainly do not want him as a pro-Life spokesperson.

Really? I thought Christians dominated the pro-Life front — and I thought that Christians believed in showing mercy and repentance to one who has stumbled and asked for forgiveness.
If making one stupid statement in an interview is an unforgiveable sin (even after apologizing for it profusely), despite YEARS of CONSISTENT pro-life voting in the House, please count me out of your particular self-righteous battalion of pro-life “footsoldiers.”
He can be forgiven but he should not be a spokesperson for pro-Life because he HURTS THE CAUSE.
If he cannot understand that, then he is for himself, and not the cause.
