The REAL problem with what Akin said

[Hugabear]

Of course rethugs and conservatives don't really have a problem with terms like "illegitimate" or "forcible" rape.

Their real problem is that he used those terms publicly. Rethugs prefer to operate in shadows, especially when it comes to issues such as this. They'd rather insert such language into their legislation, hoping that nobody will notice until it becomes law. They're just pissed that he's drawing attention to their gameplan.

1. They think that rapist sperm is more important than women and rape victims. nt

2. He's probably said the same thing many times before

I think this is not new to him, he's made the same argument in those shadows and has gotten high fives for it.
