Akin’s Campaign Stands By Claim Of Abortions On Women Who “Are Not Actually Pregnant”

Rep. Todd Akin’s campaign is standing by the Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Missouri’s 2008 claim that doctors commonly perform abortions on women who “are not actually pregnant.”

Akin’s evidence consists of a news report from 1978 and the claims of a former Planned Parenthood official, a spokesman said.

A news report from 34 years ago is his source? Are you fucking kidding me?

Why is this caveman being taken seriously now?
