I hope Akin is thoroughly happy with what he's done to his campaign and the GOP. Having made this terrible blunder, Akin ought to think about his Party and consider stepping down. If he doesn't step down, I would still prefer that he win, but he IS a moron, and I have huge doubts about his pulling it off considering his mental limitations and toxicity to the Republican Party. Most likely, Akin will catch a couple months of pure hell from McCaskill's campaign, get beaten at the election, and his supporters will be left wondering how they effed up.
I don't know Akin, and would never have heard of him had it not been for this controversy. I am debating his use of the words LEGITIMATE RAPE and the fact that women who get pregnant after consensual sex HAVE and DO cry rape. I also agree that pregnancies from violent, forced rape are much lower than pregnancies from 'casual sex'. Statistics seem to support that. I have provided sources throughout this thread.
Of course, we live in a nation that rejects a VP candidate because they BELIEVE that POTATOE is not a word.
Potato, potatoe.
Theater, theatre.
Color, colour.
