" A spokesman for Senate Republicans' campaign arm says Rep. Todd Akin is putting issues he cares about at risk by staying in the Missouri Senate race and says Akin's "misguided" campaign will get no support from the group. "

Isn't Akin's issue fundamentally - not the frequency of rape pregnancy but - when does live begin? At the heart should a baby born of rape be aborted?

So why didn’t he state like you did instead of using some bad science and making stupid statement.

If he had simply said that life starts at conception and that children that are the result of rape are deserving of life, this whole fiasco wouldn’t have occurred. Maybe there would have been a blip at the state level, that would be it. No, he had to try and dodge the issue in the most inept possible way. And his attempts to clarify through interviews or online have been even worse.
