Bravo. As I said before, I think a moratorium on aging male politicians talking about rape in any sense other than condemning it and trying to describe the female reproductive system(unless of course they are actually an OB/GYN) would be very wise and would prevent further issues down the road.

The party has plenty of intelligent individuals and doctors that can get into the actual science of things, but if you've got a BS in "Management Engineering", you need to do what I was thought in the Army and that is when you are firing at the range, stay in your lane and focus on your target.

Akin could have stopped all this had he said simply "I don't believe the baby should suffer a worse punishment than the rapist", yeah the left would have still had a cow, but who gives a damn, it would have been a principled stand and not made him sound like a total idiot.

He can still say that. And he should say that.
