Akin could have stopped all this had he said simply "I don't believe the baby should suffer a worse punishment than the rapist"

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

And he did say that in the original interview. People don't speak in short little monotone, factual statements. They engage in discussions and offer rationale for their positions. The mistakes in verbiage he made were minor and are being blown way out of proportion. We can all agree he phrased things stupidly. But calling for him to drop out of the race because of it and denying him his expected funding is ridiculous.
