Todd Akin is Confused http://commonfolkcollective.com/blog/2012/08/rep-todd-akin-is-confused/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rep-todd-akin-is-confused http://commonfolkcollective.com/blog/2012/08/rep-todd-akin-is-confused/#comments Mon, 20 Aug 2012 21:12:00 +0000 http://commonfolkcollective.com/blog/?p=1423 I’m sure you’ve heard by now that Rep Todd Akin, who shares the same stance on abortion as Romney’s running mate Rep Paul Ryan, said “if it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.”

Akin supports made up science, such as “intelligent design” so it shouldn’t shock you that he believes that when raped, a woman doesn’t conceive. Though if his made up science were true, Barr Laboratories, the makers of the Plan B morning after pill would be looking for a new line of work.

I’d like to encourage you to donate to RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network) and help educate to prevent sex crimes and counsel victims.

As a bonus Akin also believes that student loans are like stage 3 cancer. I wonder if “legitimate” students loans are in remission?

Lastly, based on Akin’s clear lack of scientific understanding please ask that Akin is removed from the House Science and Technology Committee. So that we don’t live in a world like The Handmaid’s Tale
