Missouri GOP Rep. Todd Akin: 'Female Body Has Ways to Shut Down' Pregnancy in Case of 'Legitimate Rape'

This goes beyond WTF. He claims doctors said that this is the case. What doctors? Who is spreading this nonsense? And Akin’s complete and total lack of functioning neurons to try and legitimize rape? That it’s okay to rape because it doesn’t end in pregnancy? Even if that were somehow true - and it isn’t - this misogynistic pig thinks that it’s okay to treat women as second class property.

And yet he’s got a seat in Congress because his constituents think he’s the cat’s meow.

That’s the saddest bit of all.

The GOP is thinking that this kind of logic and reasoning is the future of the party. I can’t wait to see the GOP’s attempts at defending this kind of nonsense (which seems to be coming on a daily basis from Akin btw).
