The problem here is not Akin opposing the rape exception, but bringing biological inaccuracies into an extremely explosive and emotional fight. He's got to know better, and if he doesn't, that's his own problem. Christian conservatives supported Akin for a reason.

There are many pro-life web sites that state the same thing Akin said about rape and pregnancy. So this seems to be a common belief among some established pro-life groups. I simply don't know if it's true or not. But this is not something Akin made up. If pro-lifers don't agree with it there needs to be some clean-up in their own literature, which is most likely where Akin got the information.

There are many think tanks on both sides that don't check their information thoroughly. Unfortunately for us, the vast majority of media workers are liberal, which means that only conservative mistakes of fact are ever called out. There's no point whining about it - it's just the way it is. We just have to be on our toes. Hopefully, what doesn't kill us will make us stronger.
