Hi, XS. I had a sick, visceral response the moment I heard Akin utter those comments. His casual, callous remarks about a woman’s response to rape are deeply, deeply offensive to me and rouse an anger in me that I haven’t felt since the days Clinton refused to resign. And I’m about as conservative as they come.
I have the sense that one’s own life experience is the determining factor in how this is viewed as it puzzles me greatly how so many believe this is just an innocent “gaffe”.
and reacting adversely to what he said/how he said it, is totally IRRELEVANT to one’s position on abortion in the case of rape/incest; but there are those would have it that if you are against abortion in any instance, that you must somehow be supportive of that idiotic statement.
