Todd Akin, whom a majority of Missouri Republicans want representing them in the U.S. Senate, has the tortured logic of an Inquisitor during the witch trials.\u00a0If you float, you&#8217;re a witch and we&#8217;ll burn you. If you drown, you weren&#8217;t a witch, but you&#8217;re still dead. If you find yourself knocked up from your &#8220;legitimate rape&#8221; then you must have enjoyed it or asked for it or or you weren&#8217;t scared enough or your skirt was too short, hence you weren&#8217;t really raped. If you were raped and you&#8217;re<em> not <\/em>pregnant, well then, by golly, you were raped and God has protected you &#8211; he loves you enough to not let you become pregnant, but not enough to stop the rape, you witch slut.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>The only thing The Akin is sorry for is that he spewed his twisted logic too soon. After all, this souless cretin was LEADING IN THE POLLS. All he had to do was not let the proverbial cat out of the bag and the smart, informed, good hearted people of Missouri would have voted him back in. Like those reality-seeing sunglasses in &#8220;They Live&#8221;, the Witchfinder Akin showed his hand &#8211; and the gnarled, bloody hand of today&#8217;s Republican Party. And since his views are basically the GOP&#8217;s bro-crush Paul Ryan&#8217;s views, the wingnutbags will never forgive him. Hopefully the psychopath will stay in the race, so his name can be hung around the GOP&#8217;s neck like a rotting albatross from now until November, because he\u00a0is merely the latest canary in a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.csmonitor.com\/USA\/DC-Decoder\/2012\/0821\/Where-Todd-Akin-and-Paul-Ryan-agree-and-disagree-on-abortion\">coalmine of crazy.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Respectfully, could Pro-Choicers please stop bellowing about exemptions for rape, incest, and the life of the mother? When we do that, it adds legitimatization to the anti-choice position that personhood begins at conception. These &#8220;exceptions&#8221; do not need to be arrived at for humanitarian reasons when out position is that a fertilized egg is not a person; a blastocyst is not a baby, and that up to the point of viability outside the womb, when the fetus is no longer attached to the body of another human being, a woman should have the unrestricted right to make whatever the hell decision she wants. Nature already provides a nice clean line for the matter. It&#8217;s called birth.<\/p>\n<p>photo: Vincent Price as\u00a0<em>The Conqueror Worm<\/em><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
