JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) -- Missouri Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill took aim Wednesday at Republican challenger Todd Akin with a new series of TV ads featuring rape survivors outraged by Akin's remark about "legitimate rape" and his opposition to emergency contraception.

The three separate ads feature individual testimonials from three women who said they were raped, including one who describes herself as a "pro-life" Republican and another self-described "pro-life mother" who calls herself a "woman of faith."

McCaskill is scum.

I’m not overly impressed with Akin, but she is scum.

Just another form of parading the corpses for political purposes.

FUBO & FAD

It’s the only ammunition she has, and he screwed up by giving it to her. I still think he will win by a couple of points, but this should have been a cakewalk.

I think the average voter will see this as crass overreaching.

Libs just can't help themselves.

Democrats should change their name to the Victims Party. Roll out victims on TV or in Congress.

The WORST victim was Sandra Fluke, a law student at an EXPENSIVE private law school who wants us to pay for his birth control. Psst. Go to a public university law school and buy your own birth control, you leftist sow.

Choices are a bitch.

Akin needs to investigate all the women in these ads to determine if the ones that claim to to Republicans actually are Republicans and to determine if they are legitimate in their claim that they were actually raped.

It is well known among rational people that DemoCRATS are professional liars, though the bar is very low.

Akin lost his own election and jeapordized the presidential election the moment his idiotic statement passed his lips.

I don't care how good a coservative he is otherwise, he needed to acknowledge his error and gotten out of the way for a less damaged candidate.

Somehow if the taxpayers don’t pay for it, it doesn’t exist

Not the only ammunition, just the latest. She's been running ads with his quotes on student loans and Medicare and Social Security and the like as well.

Pictures of babies that victimized mothers chose to keep, aren't.
