It’s a very real issue... Akin’s ignorant comments will not help sidewalk counselors save babies this weekend.
It is absolutely right to be against abortion in cases of rape... it damages the pro-life cause when you predicate that stand on easily refutable scientific theory.
Abortion is the case of rape is wrong because it denies the humanity of the child inside the mother. Period.
Attaching some fantasy to the premise... damages the premise... and does not help save babies.
Or is it more important to be right, than to save babies?
Akin, and his apologists, need to answer that question.
Akin’s comments have exactly Zero to do with the so-called sidewalk counsellors. Your false dilemma is wearing thin.
