Todd Akin is congressman from Missouri running for state senate. Usually I don’t care about senatorial races, this guy is a radical no surprise he was chosen by the tea party. In an interview Akin was asked about abortion he gave the most sexist and unsympathetic answer ever. Todd Akin Quote Legitimate rape? Who in the hell talks like that anyway rape is rape. Todd Akin believe that a woman womb magically become barren during rape. 32.000 women a year become pregnant from rape. A separate 2001 study – which used a sample of 405 rape victims between ages 12 and 45 – found that 6.4 percent became pregnant. According to Akin a rape victim should have to bare the child of the man that sexually assaulted her. Of course he made a bullshit apology claiming he misspoke. Now if you didn’t think that was sexist enough wait there’s more. Todd Akin voted against the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act. It’s against the law to discriminate against women by paying them less than men. The act enables women the ability to sue if they are being discriminated against. Todd Akin quote What Akin is saying the employer can decide to pay Sally less than Bob. These right wing fanatics just hate the federal government. And yet they have no problem with State governments doing the same thing. If you not convinced that Todd Akin isn’t a far right wing republican there’s more. http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2...bile=nc#ooid=lpM3ZuNTo63QVOa7tMDkM6TvX1OUiaNp Guess what this guy is getting support from another right wing republican Rand Paul. This guy has been very critical of the civil rights act has well. After all the things Akin has said about women & minorities. He’s still getting support from women I don’t understand why. Michelle Duggar received national attention from their TLC reality show “19 Kids and Counting,” which chronicles their life raising nine girls and ten boys. Michelle Duggar will speak today at the “Missouri Women Standing with Todd Akin” in Springfield. She will be joined by former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee’s wife, Janet. The entire family is slated to make appearances in the final 20 days leading up to the election. I really believe if David Duke ran in the wrong era. If he ran today has a tea party republican he would win. This is scary that the right in this country is putting fanatics in office. We are regressing has a country these wing nuts don’t care about, women struggles for civil rights. We already know how many of these conservatives feel about minorities especially blacks.
I fucking hate the Duggar family and the way the media promotes the spawning of so many children instead of adoption - the glorification of overbreeding as the Christian thing to do. My parents think it's so fucking great. I say ADOPT inner city kids - the ones white people seem to avoid like the plague!! If you say you are a Christian, adopt Chinese baby girls and Romanian orphans who will live a life of neglect or waste away in orphanages and live lives of hideous abuse! Save a baby from abortion if you are antiabortion!! There are too many smug little white kids born in America every day - save the ones that are already here, black kids in America and neglected kids in other countries who will be used for prostitution!
Steven,you hit it on the head. When you have the chance check out that hypocritical Republican congressman from Tennessee who asked his girlfriend for a abortion and he was mad that she kept the baby.
Per his rape comment, it was vigorously debated back in August when he said it... http://www.whitewomenblackmen.com/forum/showthread.php?t=22154&highlight=rape ....for additional perspectives. At his opposition to the LilLy Led F/P Act...I bet if it were men getting paid less, he'd be demanding passage.
Yesterday or two nights ago in Indiana another Republican candidate for the US Senate has believed the same thing like Akin in a tv debate. Talk about implosion.
They sure have a way of putting their foot in their mouth. When we are seeing some of the same trash uttered repeatedly, its not merely misspeaking or taken out of context in quote, its something that represents a mindset.
