What exactly are Akin’s ideas?
I’m not in Missouri, and really don’t know much about Akins other than he is on the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee and has a 96% ACU rating. He has a degree in Divinity and worked in the family steel business. Not sure if he made that though - lol.
I found this interesting as well. In 1998 Fay Boozman, a friend of Huckabee, said much the same thing as Akin in his Arkansas senate race against Branch Lincoln. Boozman lost, but, ironically, his brother beat Lincoln in 2010. Guess the folks of Arkansas didn’t hold his brother’s ideas against him. Nor will most sensible folks believe that Akin’s ideas represent all republicans. The economy will decide the presidential race.
Another peculiar twist - Fay Boozman was a medical advisor to a crisis pregnancy center. You just can’t make this stuff up.
I’ve heard Huckabee is defending Akins just like he did Boozman way back when.
That women have a magical uterus that can prevent pregnancy. He also called foreceful rape legitimate rape, as opposed to statutory rape which no trauma is involved. Get it? Neither does he.
He based his comments on the views of the National Right to Life Committee founder , the medical genius Dr. Jack Wilkee.
Dr. Wilkee is an obvious Nobel Prize in Medicine winner in waiting (to whom an ungrateful public gives no recognition). The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists are also at odds with Dr. Wilkee. They say a woman who is raped "has no control over ovulation, fertilization or implantation of a fertilized egg. ... To suggest otherwise contradicts basic biological truths."
As a politician, Akin failed the basic test of communication 101. He needs to go.
