Missouri Congressman Todd Akin, a conservative Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate, sparked a furor and earned a rebuke from Mitt Romney’s campaign after saying in an interview broadcast Sunday that women’s bodies can prevent pregnancies in “a legitimate rape” and that conception is rare in such cases.

Akin, a six-term congressman running against incumbent Democrat Sen. Claire McCaskill, was asked in an interview on St. Louis television station KTVI if he would support abortions for women who have been raped.

“It seems to me first of all, from what I understand from doctors, that’s really rare,” Akin said. “If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down,” Akin said of a rape victim’s chances of becoming pregnant.

Rep. Akin will be a guest on the Charlie Brennan show at 9:20 am Monday to speak about his comments.

“If you make an exception for rape for abortion, wouldn’t any woman claim rape? So the exception becomes the rule.”

You make it sound as though women, by and large, have no qualms about ending the lives of their unborn children. Do you really believe that?

And are you saying that it is an "injustice" if a woman does not abort an innocent unborn baby?

Your obsessive ideology has blinded you to the point that you cannot read. I said that his statement (implying that a woman's body rejects semen in forcible rape) places confers upon those women forcibly impregnated by that means a stigma of culpability. That would be unjust.
