US Senate Nominee: Rape Victims Automatically Shut Down Pregnancy. No need for Abortions.

[Hobble]

People like this are the strongest argument possible in favour of abortion. If only their mothers had made a different choice.

[Spitfire_Spiky]

The US has some of the dumbest politicians in the world. It makes me laugh.

[JLumme]

The United States, and the "West" in general, was tanking long before good 'ole W. One could cite Thatcher and Reagan, the Oil Crisis, or perhaps even the Great Depression. Regardless, blaming the current problems on a single person is lazy and stupid.

Anyone get the impression that he's trying to lose?

[Alex the Great]

"Republican" is a nicer word for "idiot".

The scary thing is, it might not work....

I'm pretty sure the Christian republicans would not stand for someone using the term "legitimate rape". That would surely go against everything they stand for, right!! RIGHT!

Maybe he thinks this way because it's the only reason he can think of that would make him so stupid - that his mom's body tried to shut him down and failed...

ST. LOUIS (The Borowitz Report)—Missouri Senate candidate Todd Akin doubled down on his controversial remarks about the female body today, proposing a prominent national-security role for the uterus.

“From what I understand, there’s nothing that the uterus doesn’t know,” Rep. Akin told a reporter on KTVI-TV. “It’s almost like Spider-Man’s ‘spidey sense,’ if you will, except the tingling goes on down in the lady parts.”

Rep. Akin said that given the uterus’ extraordinary powers of detection, the female reproductive system should be America’s secret weapon in the war on terror.

“If we posted a uterus at every airport and a bunch of them along the border, I would just love to see an evildoer get past defenses like that,” he said. “Not gonna happen, folks. Nothing fools a uterus.”

Rep. Akin closed his interview with what he called “the highest praise and respect” for the female reproductive system.

“Not a day goes by that I don’t wish I was as smart as a uterus,” he said.

Piers Morgan just called Akin a "gutless little twerp" for no-showing his scheduled interview on CNN.
