You didn't get this sort of bat shit crazy back in the days, so what the hell happened?




Here is another facepalm:



This dude is on a science committee talking stupid shit like this?...lol


Asshat is claiming to "misspoke" yet still is against abortions for rape victims? OBVIOUSLY YOU DIDN"T MISSPEAK YOU DUMMY!

I actually sort of applaud the guy. Not because I necessarily agree with his position but because if you're going to be against abortion you really have to be against all abortion. Oh and the death penalty too. This non-sense where people purport to be anti-abortion except in cases of rape and/or incest baffles me. I mean if your stance is that life is life at conception then the nature of the situation resulting in conception should be irrelevant in your mind. Right?

I think you missed the biggest part of all this.

"First of all, from what I understand from doctors, that's really rare," Akin said of rape-induced pregnancy in an interview with KTVI. A clip of the interview was posted online by the liberal super PAC American Bridge.


"If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down," Akin continued. He did not provide an explanation for what constituted "legitimate rape."

Nothing to applaud this guy about one bit. Stupidity is stupidity.

Flip: Kudos to Romney condemning the stupidity

Romney calls Akin’s rape comment ‘insulting’ and ‘inexcusable’ | The Ticket - Yahoo! News



Flop: Boo to Romney for being "delighted" to support abortion (even for rape) back in 2007.

Mitt Romney Said In 2007 He Would Be "Delighted" To Sign A Bill Banning All Abortions Nationally


You can't have the Flip with Romney, without having the Flop to go along. He doesn't just stand for anything, he stands for nothing....lol

He said he would be willing to sign a bill turning it back over to the states. You need to listen to your own links.

There is nothing to applaud about this guy. It's one thing to be against abortion and back it with your beliefs but it's another to be a member of House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology and say dumb shit like:

If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.

Maybe a scientific experiment on rape and pregnancy should be conducted using his daughter as a test subject.
