Dr. Thomas Hilgers, a Creighton University obstetrics professor and director of the Pope Paul VI Institute for the Study of Human Reproduction, has revealed that statistics show women are less likely to become pregnant when they are raped than when they engage in consensual intercourse. Noting that “the emotional impact of rape often clouds a legitimate and truthful discussion,” Dr. Hilgers said that a study of rape victims in Nebraska found that only 1.6% became pregnant, whereas a random sample would have found 2-4% of all women pregnant after an act of intercourse. He concluded that “complex mechanisms of human...

............[Mary Matalin]urged that Akin drop out, to be replaced by Ann Wagner, a former co-chair of the RepublicanNationalCommittee, who is the GOP nominee for Akin’s vacant House seat. Akin “may be dug in, but he’s not going to have a shovel to continuing digging, because he’s not going to have any money,” Matalin told ABC. “We’re going to win Missouri. Ann Wagner is going to end up being our candidate. The party is going to get Ann Wagner in.” Wagner aides hotly dispute that their candidate is involved in any negotiations about switching races. But sources close to Akin acknowledge...

Akin has got to drop out. His Luddite ideas are an embarrassment. Get him off the ballot so that the Missouri GOP can pick a better candidate than the voters of the state. This mad headless chicken scurrying, firing squad panicking has got to stop. I got a better idea. Let Akin make the Keynote speech at the Republican convention to counter the Keynote rapist at the Democrat convention. Let's say Akin drops out and sacrifices himself to the cause of capturing the Senate for the GOP. Who is this flawless, perfect candidate that's going to replace him? How do...

Freepers...I have been thinking and need your feedback.Assume Mssr Akin exits the stage so to speak., The laws do not allow Steelman etc to fill in or do a write in vote.So the State GOP'ers can pick a candidate to fill his shoes.Doesn't Rush's Brother still live in Missouri?Why not Run this Brilliant Attorney and a man that would have to debate with half his brain tied behind his back..:-)A penny for your thoughts...

Do you think Rep. Todd Akin's rape comments will hurt the GOP? Yes No

Oh how soon we forget! Sean Hannity was in the lead on the story throughout. False accusations of rape against Duke Lacrosse players made headline news. Then we learned she was pregnant. Now disbarred District Attorney Michael Nifong withheld crucial DNA evidence that proved not one of the accused had been with the accuser sexually. Subsequent DNA tests demonstrated that there would be no paternity liability on the part of any of them. She was not impregnated during her fake rape. Apparently, that happened later at her discretion. In short, it was not a LEGITIMATE rape. In fact, it was...

HUDSON - For years, marksmen have used a technique called bump firing: shooting a semiautomatic rifle from the hip and allowing the weapon's recoil to pull the trigger. With the assault-weapons ban keeping most fully automatic weapons out of their hands, it was one of the few ways for enthusiasts to enjoy the thrill of firing a machine gun. Bill Akins found a way to simulate that action by inventing a device that mechanized the recoil resistance of a semiautomatic rifle to fire more rapid, and accurate, bursts of bullets. The Hudson man spent nearly a decade designing the Akins...

HUDSON - It was a simple idea, with big potential. For years, marksmen have been using a technique called bump firing, shooting a semiautomatic rifle from the hip and allowing the weapon's recoil to pull the trigger. With federal regulations keeping fully automatic weapons out of their hands, it was one of the few ways for firearm enthusiasts to enjoy the thrill of firing a machine gun. If there was only a way to simulate that action, Bill Akins wondered, by creating a device that mechanized the recoil resistance to fire more rapid, and accurate, bursts of bullets. Thus the...

Contrary to uninformed internet posts which reported that the Akins Accelerator Bumpfire rifle stock is "officially Dead", this is not correct. Mr Bowers who was president and one of the directors of Akins Group Inc resigned as president. That is all. Mr Bowers did not solely comprise Akins Group Inc and his resignation does not terminate the corporation nor does it mean the efforts to rectify the BATFE 2006-02 ruling are "officially dead". Nothing could be further from the truth. I am the inventor, exclusive patent owner, chairman of the board and a director of Akins Group Inc which manufactured...

These were mailed out recently to Akins Group Inc. customers. I've held off on announcing this until I could confirm receipt of my resignation by the remaining Director.

I have also signed my stock shares over to the Corporation, severing all financial interest. I hereby disclaim any association and/or liabilities associated with Akins Group Inc. and/or William (Bill) Akins, whether in his capacities as...

In response to inquiries about what "you" can do, Akins Group Inc. has prepared a sample letter to the Acting Director of BATFE. We will also generate a short list of lawmakers who can and should be contacted by you, your family, friends and anyone else who might be interested.

As counsel for the Akins Group Inc., I wish to confirm that it is official Company policy that persons who purchased or possess an Akins Accelerator Device comply with ATF's request immediately to remove the spring and mail it to the address specified on the ATF's website.

ALERT FROM JEWS FOR THE PRESERVATION OF FIREARMS OWNERSHIP America's Aggressive Civil Rights Organization February 19, 2007 JPFO ALERT: Classifying Your Firearms into Oblivion In 2003, Akins Group Inc. developed the Akins Accelerator, a bumpfire stock for a Ruger 10/22 that can produce about 650 rounds/minute. The company received classification letters from the BATFE agreeing that the stock was not a firearm and therefore unregulated. Akins performed approximately 18 months of testing, built injection molds based on the results, and began offering the Accelerator to the public in December of 2006. True to form, the BATFE suddenly decided that the...

BATFE DECIDES THE AKINS ACCELERATOR™ TO BE A MACHINEGUN Akins Group Inc. regrets to announce that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) has reversed its position and has decided the Akins Accelerator™ to be a machinegun conversion kit, thereby subjecting it to strict regulation under the Gun Control Act (GCA) and National Firearms Act (NFA). ATF rescinded its previous determination that the Akins Accelerator™ was not a machinegun subject to the GCA or NFA (see http://www.firefaster.com/documentation.html for original documentation). Attorneys for the Akins Group Inc. are seeking reconsideration by ATF of its new position. In the interim,...

After the price of oil quadrupled in 1973, Syria and other Arab states put pressure on Saudi Arabia to use its new wealth against Israel. Part of the Saudi government's response was to lead a campaign against support for Israel in the U.S. On their own, however, the Saudis lacked the connections and savvy to affect American-Israeli ties. To make up for this, the Saudi state recruited help. In "The American House of Saud" (Franklin Watts, 448 pages, $18.95), Steven Emerson, a journalist and former staff member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, chronicles anti-Israeli activities undertaken in recent years...
