Weird Science at its finest! It's interesting that a British source carried this story. It was probably too crazy for even the National Enquirer.

Todd Akin, the Republican candidate favored to win the Senate seat up for election in Missouri, believes that in cases of what he calls "legitimate rape" a woman's body somehow goes through changes that make pregnancy extremely rare. He is using this belief to justify his stance that any woman who becomes pregnant by rape should be required to carry her rapist's baby to term, and give birth to the rapist's baby.

I'm an independent who leans to the left. When I see a candidate I evaluate them based upon their actions and their history and background.
I am also a father, grandfather and great-grandfather. I do not look at things through rose colored glasses, but I do look them square in the face and when I see something like what i currently see in the Republican/Tea Party I call it the way I see it. That plain and that simple.
You say you are member of the Tea Party. Well my condolences cause your being played by the power structure of the Religious Conservatives of this nation who are attempting to create a Christo-Fascist Theocracy.
I suggest you step back a few paces and really analyze Both the Tea Party and the Republican Parties and their single-minded goals. The look at the support structure that has been built since the 1980's to impose that Christo-Fascist Theocracy upon our nation. Just for reference, my great uncle live through the concentration camps of Germany. Tattoo on the forearm and all.

He died in 1982, but not before he told all his nieces and nephews of the problems that Germany went through and what it was that brought the Fascists to power in Germany. He also gave us a warning that when we saw religious organizations banning together to back a political party and the industrialist/uber rich backing the same political party you should do everything possible to prevent it because it would be the beginning of the end of our Representative Constitutional Republic.
He also made us recite this very short but telling sentence "WHEN Fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag (of nationalism) and carrying a Cross" [quote attributed to Sinclair Lewis] (He didn't say what kind of cross, it was understood he meant the twisted cross -- the swastika.
When you remove the power of the government from the people and eliminate the middle class, and begin attacking minorities, you have Fascism on the rise.
No, I'm not being "played". Like you, I'm a normal, everyday grandparent who is concerned about their country & about what this POTUS is doing to it. He's an anti-colonialist, like his father, & is determined to bring this country down to its knees.
Just telling someone I'm a Christian nowadays, I'm considered a "RWNJ" or "terrorist", etc. I am the "average" person in this country where it comes to political beliefs. I am also pro-choice & for separation of church & state. There are MANY Tea Party members who believe the same as me. Christians are NOT trying to create a "Christo-Fascist Theocracy". You've been watching too much MSNBC. There are nutcases in EVERY group, Reps, Dems, Libertarian & Independents. In fact, I've heard many nutty conspiracy theories coming from some independents.
Your last paragraph has nothing at all to do with the Tea Party group. Again, you've been watching too much left-wing media (which is almost all media today) lie to you & you've fallen for the crap, hook, line & sinker.
I suggest your step back a few paces and look around before this poem comes true.
First they came for the socialists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for me,
and there was no one left to speak for me.

You can substitute almost any group in here and they should be very much afraid.
All income to be treated equally as far as taxes are concerned, by revamping the entire tax code down to about 50 pages. (friend of mine did that and presented it as his doctorate thesis in college. He really stirred up a hornets nest but it worked, in theory)
There is a lot more too, but I'd be typing until midnight.
32 years ago I saw this happening and was very upset that no one was doing anything to stop this flow of jobs out of the country. I'd say something and people would say I was nuts. We'll always be the greatest country in the world. Nope we won't. By shear numbers, China and India are going to become the two major economic powers of the planet, with Japan, the US and Brazil pulling up short behind them. Germany, (the European Union) will be in the mix too. But far more that any other than China and India will be the development of Africa. But that is a whole other subject direction.

The real point is that if we don't do something within the next 18 months to put Americans back to work we will pull down the entire world economy into a depression. PERIOD. Absolutely NONE of the major economists are at all happy with what has happened in the stalemate in Congress. The current trend, if not stopped very soon, will result in another down grade in the US credit rating. That is unavoidable if at least another 2% of our citizens are not put back to work within that 18 months. IT WILL NOT MATTER IF IT IS Obama as President or Romney as President. What will matter is if the Middle Class is allowed to survive in the process. It that does not happen then we can look forward to a depression in 2017 or 2018 and at the latest 2020.
That is why 30 years ago I started becoming totally independent of the economic system of our nation. I own a farm which is not 98% energy independent. It is totally food independent - I can feed about 75 people year round if it is fully developed. My family knows what I think is happening and they agree with me. This is not a new thing for me, it has been my lifetime goal to become independent of the system and I have accomplished that.
.Maybe you can comprehend what I said if you put yourself in a position where someone is describing they are going to kick you in the groin and they are very graphic. That thought could possibly make you tense your mid section.
Other than that, I don't have anything else to say.
The Republican platform has, for years, carried an intent to amend the constitution to outlaw abortion. They do not have the right to do so.
