Odious remarks by GOP Missouri Senate candidate Cong. Todd Akin about how few pregnancies result from "legitimate rape"

I saw nothing "odious" about what Akin said. His comments re: the rarity of pregnancy in cases of extreme stress (i.e. a rape, famine, and for crying out loud, even someone who is stressed about trying to get pregnant) are correct.

And I happen to agree that we should not punish one of the innocent parties if a pregnancy results from rape. Punish the perpetrator.

I've stated to those who are pro-abort, "Okay, lets keep abortion legal in cases of rape and incest and make it illegal otherwise. The only caveat would be that, starting at the point of requesting the abortion, the victim will be required to cooperate with the police in finding and punishing the guilty person or persons." They always try to change the subject, because that's not really why they want abortion to be legal.

Bottom Line the fool gave the Democrats a talking point when the discussion should have been on the economy not abortions

That is excellent, MEGoody. Can I borrow it?
