The anti-abortion movement in the US is making life harder and harder for women. They reached a new low when the Republican congressional candidate for Missouri, Todd Akin, said women don't get pregnant when raped because "If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut the whole thing down," http://www.theage.com.au/world/offensive-and-indefensible-candidate-may-step-down-after-legitimate-rape-claims-20120821-24j3d.html Huzzah, the magic uterus! There's the little problem that this is factually wrong. Then, there's the use of the words "legitimate rape" which is clearly suggesting those lying bitches are only saying they were raped to get a man into trouble - we all know they're asking for it. It's important to know that he didn't make a mistake when he said that. He didn't "mis-speak". He said exactly what he meant. All he's trying to do now is cover himself. It never occurred to him he couldn't get away with saying that offensive bullshit. Because the anti-abortion crowd spouts that bullshit every single day. This is a MAINSTREAM belief in the anti-abortion movement. And speaking of mainstream, Mitt Romney's weak initial reaction shows clearly where he stands on the matter. When his campaign saw the universal public condemnation of Akin's drivel they made stronger statements but that was nothing more than damage control. Kudos to the Republicans who were direct and clear in their condemnation of Akin, I'm sure at least some of them were genuine. Romney is not one of the genuine ones.
