Todd Akin's Rape Comments Represent Official GOP Platform

Although the Republican party is currently sending Todd Akin the message that he should leave the race due to his comments about "legitimate rape" and a woman's body's ability to avoid pregnancy from rape, it turns out it's part of GOP culture.

This doesn't deserve any press. Sure the guy miss spoke in a big way. But being a Republican teh leftest medis makes great hey about it.

The Leftest media also says nothing about the Democrat who Craigslist a boy for a blow job at at rest stop. This also happened the other day and he is also up for a state election post. Now one in his party is calling for him to step down. Nope. Don't hear jack about the Molester Democrat form the leftest media but show after show for 2 days bashing the Republican. Think the media is biased?

Mispeaking is when Romney/Obama accidentally introduce their VPs as the POTUS.

This is an ideological belief he thought he could get away with and knows other people believe in too. These are the same people that think most if not all rape victims actually wanted it/deserved it

He honestly believes he can still win his race. Even Republicans have reported that he lives in his own parallel universe.

Throw this fucker, and his party, to the wolves.

try again bob, it's been reported, and he stepped down of his own accord. I know your reading and writing skills aren't above average, but please do put some effort into it if you're going to put forth your own biases as reality. If you're going to have a bias, make sure it's backed up with fact.

He should probably have specified that those 32'000 rape pregnancies a year are in the US alone, and that since those numbers are from 1996 they are probably higher today. /nitpicking

THIRTEENTH CENTURY, guys. Good lord. Trumpet this fact one end of this country to the next!

Didn't start in the 1970s.

Excerpt: Despite constant debunking, this old husbands’ tale has endured for centuries. “The legal position that pregnancy disproved a claim of ra
pe appears to have been instituted in the U.K. sometime in the 13th century,” the medical historian Vanessa Heggie wrote in a blog post for The Guardian on Monday. She explained that one of Britain’s earliest legal texts, written in about 1290, included a clause based on this bit of folk wisdom: “If, however, the woman should have conceived at the time alleged in the appeal, it abates, for without a woman’s consent she could not conceive.”
