Newt Gingrich on Thursday came to Todd Akin’s defense, calling the embattled Missouri Senate candidate “honorable” and “sincere.”

Speaking to POLITICO’s Mike Allen at the Playbook Afternoon Snack event here, the former House speaker said the controversy surrounding Akin’s recent “legitimate rape” comments was a “good example of why the power structure in Washington sometimes ought to take a deep breath.”

I'm just a blue collar worker who gets sick of the pro-life lobby hubris, and BTW, I am pro-life, and thinks that Roe V. Wade was a travesty.

So, what you're saying is that it's OK to be pro-life, but just don't speak out or make an issue of it.

You might not work for Rove in the sense of drawing a paycheck, but you're doing the work of people like him anyway.
