Of all the frightening things we've heard lately (and there have been quite a few) the words out of Rep. Todd Akin's mouth are the most mind boggling.
Akin is running for the Senate from Missouri "The Show Me State" against Senator Claire McCaskill.
In a recent television interview, Akin made a strange assertion about rape victims. Somehow it has something to do with his anti-abortion stance. It also has something to do with his obvious belief in voodoo.
"From what I understand from doctors, that's really rare," said Akin said of pregnancy caused by rape. "If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down. But let's assume maybe that didn't work or something. I think there should be some punishment, but the punishment ought to be on the rapist."
What, what, what?
First of all, who are these doctors who are feeding him this erroneous nonsense? Witch doctors?
Secondly, what is legitimate rape as opposed to illegitimate rape?
Thirdly, is there any debate that a rapist should be punished?
Anyone who votes for him is criminally insane.
