The one thing I am not seeing in this scream fest is the most important part.

What are the best current (of the few honest) polls in Missouri saying?

The reason this is critical is the flip side of the coin.

The Republican party leadership insisted that conservatives *had* to support Romney, even though he is far too liberal, *because there is no other choice*. If we don’t support Romney, then Obama will win.

But now, that same Republican party leadership is insisting that though it is too late to run another candidate, Akin should drop out anyway, *giving* the election to his wacky leftist Democrat opponent, and maybe with it, control of the US senate!

But what do the polls in his home state of Missouri say?

Is this not the identical situation to Romney? That Missouri Republicans have *no choice* but to vote for Akin, or the repulsive Democrat Claire McCaskill is guaranteed to win?

Why one and not the other? Why *must* conservatives support Romney, but at the same time, why *must* conservatives *not* support Akin?

I, for one, am willing to accept Akin’s apology as just a misstatement. Though I am not a Missourian, I think the big picture is far more important than a single ill considered sentence.

And the real harm Claire McCaskill can do to our country, along with tens of millions of people, is far worse than the imaginary harm the opinion of Akin might cause.

Let us keep our perspective. If you will hold your nose and vote for Romney, solely to stop Obama; then you, if you live in Missouri, should do the same and vote for Akin.

Realistically speaking, what people who would have voted for Akin would change their mind and instead vote for McCaskill as a result of this? Women who think Akin is a cad? A woman is either pro-life or pro-death. What woman is going to go from pro-life to pro-death just because she thinks a pro-life person is a jerk? The only way that happens is if she’s totally led by emotions, and that’s exactly what the dems are trying to do.

And the R’s are playing right along with it.

Somebody needs to ask the media people whether the statutory rapes reported to Planned Parenthood by Lila Rose (or other undercover pro-lifers) are “legitimate rapes” - and if so, whether the dems who pay Planned Parenthood to cover for the rapists are thus showing a callous disregard for rape victims by poo-poohing the seriousness of non-forcible (statutory) rape.

Akin was talking about how the BODY deals with different situations, and particularly that violence and stress can impact whether conception occurs.

Does anybody who’s tried to conceive and had problems - and been told by their doctor that they need to just “relax”, so their body will function normally - really doubt that it CAN make a difference? Not that it is impossible to get pregnant under stressful or violent circumstances; we all know it’s possible because it happens. But Akin was talking about whether violence and stress CAN inhibit conception. How many couples have struggled to conceive, give up and adopt, and then immediately become pregnant?

But if the big stink over what he said is the bit about “legitimate rape” - which he was referring to in terms of the body’s stress response, and not moral repugnance so it’s a totally different context - then let’s discuss Planned Parenthood’s view of statutory rape and their total lack of moral repugnance towards that rape. Let’s find out who REALLY has the war against women.

Let’s compare how many women are incarcerated today because of the way they tried to cope with being raped, versus how many women are incarcerated today because of the way they tried to cope with having an abortion. Let’s get some statistics from the women’s prisons.

The point is that both are horrific, soul-wrenching events - one where the woman is the victim and one where she is the perpetrator. Which harms women more - to be a victim or to be a perpetrator? The women in jails might have some interesting perspectives on that...

Let’s have this discussion. The left will never win this discussion unless we back away from it. Because the left sides against women regarding statutory rape, by protecting the rapists through abortion. And the left sides with women as perpetrators by pushing abortion and infanticide for any reason at any time and pushing AGAINST informed consent laws, parental protections, anti-kidnapping-for-abortion, etc laws.

Women are hurt when they are the victims, and they are hurt when they are the perpetrators. And the left ALWAYS protects and enables the perpetrator. Always.
