Is Akin really the worst?
Akin has the distinction of being both vile and ignorant but I find the others to be just as bad if not worse.
Say what you want about Akin but at least his twisted little mind has led him to believe that he is not further abusing rape victims because of this magical birth control feature that he made up.
Other pro-lifers don't even care. they know the incidence of pregnancy is the same and yet they still take the opinion that no abortions are allowed. In their mind, the victim is just supposed to suck-it-up and incubate the demon child just because it is part of "God's plan". To me that is a sick and disgusting position to take.
Akin's comments have catapulted this to the headlines but in my opinion, they are all just as vile.
