Todd Akin legitimately dies

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna1280680?__twitter_impression=true&s=09

Former U.S. Rep. Todd Akin, a conservative Missouri Republican whose comment that women’s bodies have a way of avoiding pregnancies in cases of “legitimate rape” sunk his bid for the U.S. Senate and became a cautionary tale for other GOP candidates, died late Sunday. He was 74.

Akin had cancer for several years, his son, Perry, said in a statement. He died at his home in Wildwood, a St. Louis suburb.

“As my father’s death approached, we had people from all different walks of life share story after story of the personal impact he had on them,” Perry Akin said in a statement to The Associated Press.


Hmm. I bet.

his body found a way to shut all that down.

I feel for anyone who may have loved him, but I can't help but think the world is better without him.
