I think everyone can agree what he said was frighteningly stupid, but I believe this whole mess has been blown completely out of proportion. The guy misspoke and used some unfortunate words but c'mon. I am not even an Akin supporter but give the guy a break. I have heard Bush/Obama/Romney/etc. say way stupider things.

I agree. In fact, rampant stupidity seems to be a requirement for Senators, so he'll fit right in.

What the guy said was pretty ****ed up. But I don't think that you can defend him by saying other people have said ****ed up things too.

So his "misspeaking" is an unforgivable mistake? What rustles your jimmies so much about this? Seriously, I honestly don't see why this is such a huge issue...Originally Posted by Buster_Jaimen

Lol nothing was blown out of proportion. What he said was insanely stupid, and that doesn't change because others have also said stupid things.

Listen to the Peter Schiff video posted. He explains the issue in the first few minutes. But, the fact that you are struggling trying to understand what he did wrong supports the point I am trying to make.Originally Posted by Curtiz

Mmm hmm. And can you please enlighten us further on how the female body stops itself from getting pregnant from sperm when it is raped? This should be very fascinating, we've all got this Akin guy wrong!Originally Posted by Derek1995

Obama said something dumber than "women can't get pregnant from legitimate rape"? Enlighten me.

Explain the issue. The guy's point was that if a woman is "forcibly" raped, she has "systems" that will help shut the act of conception is shut down. Whether what he said was true or not, what is so offensive about his statement?Originally Posted by heynah

Mis-speaking is saying I live in Topeka when I meant Wichita. Mis-speaking is not saying that legitimate rapes, the woman's body will abort the baby on it's own. Saying that if you get pregnant from being raped, you weren't really truly, legitimately raped. Are you trolling?Originally Posted by WiggyWanka

I know it's hard for you as an unpregnant, unraped male to understand what's so offensive about it, but try to imagine for a second that you're a female who was raped and got pregnant. Now rethink if it might be offensive.Originally Posted by WiggyWanka

apparently you do mother****er. The guy who is running for the senate says we don't need to worry about legislation regarding abortion when a woman is raped because women can't really get pregnant during rape. A gaffe is one thing but being so mind numbingly ignorant to think that a woman can get pregnant from rape should automatically disqualify anyone from holding office where they will help to determine that laws that govern our country.Originally Posted by WiggyWanka
