Also, I do not know one republican woman who does not agree that Akin is ignorant and stupid.

Your reply reminds me of Pauline Kael's famous quote. This was almost a quarter century ago. Kael could not understand how Nixon won. Why, nobody she knew voted for him!

He knows nothing about the biology of a woman’s body.

I do, and I think he was right.

He is callous and ignorant about rape."

"Callous"? That's a new bit of invective. What's your evidence for that?

We have the Left talking about the "war on women" and then what happens?

This older politician decides to talk about "legitimate rape". What other kind of rape is there? It's incredibly offensive to women. It's either rape, or it isn't.

Start with the term “forcible” rape. As opposed to? And the fact that 32,000 women per year get pregnant as a result of rape.

I am a Republican woman and I agree with what Akin and this poster said. Akin said it badly but I agree that stress can cause a woman’s body to react in unexpected ways.
