Time for Sanity on Todd Akin
This weekend, Rep. Todd Adkin (R-MO), candidate to replace much despised Sen. Claire McCaskill in the U.S. Senate drew political ire for his remarks regarding the possibility that a woman’s body might not be as receptive to conception in cases of “legitimate rape.” The howls from the left and the right immediately went up. Although there might be some medical basis that a woman might not conceive as readily in cases of extreme stress, there is a great deal of literature on the subject, we found the remark to be insensitive and ill-conceived. (Pun intended.)
