Congressmen Akin has stated that doctors have told him that women’s bodies shut down their reproductive systems at the moment the body determines that it is being legitimacy raped and being that the congressman would not lie, I expect him to offer these doctors in a press conference to present their facts and legitimize what Akin said.

You believe that congresscritters don't lie??

Do you also believe in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy?

The stampede to get clear of the fallout gathers momentum:
Republican candidates, including Mitt Romney, are rapidly distancing themselves from controversial comments made by a Missouri Senate candidate who said the victims of "legitimate rape" were unlikely to become pregnant.

Two Republican senators running in tightly contested elections called on Akin today resign his candidacy

"As a husband and father of two young women, I found Todd Akin's comments about women and rape outrageous, inappropriate and wrong. There is no place in our public discourse for this type of offensive thinking. Not only should he apologize, but I believe Rep. Akin's statement was so far out of bounds that he should resign the nomination for U.S. Senate in Missouri," Sen. Scott Brown said in a statement.

Sen. Rob Johnson, R- Wis., all called on Akin to step down.

"Todd Akin's statements are reprehensible and inexcusable," Johnson tweeted from his campaign's Twitter account. "He should step aside today for the good of the nation."
