A hypothetical question for Akin

Let's say Akin's teenaged daughter was raped by a man who was NOT blond-blue-eyed...and the "secretions" failed her..

How many minutes would pass before they got her the "morning after pill"?
How many days later would she receive a "D & C" or "menstrual extraction"?

Would he really force her to bear that child?

Maybe he would hold true and force her to bear the child, but the ONE thing he would be able to do is to "keep it in the family", because his family has the financial means to keep it that way.

A poor woman or struggling student who has $28.00 in her checking account,(and probably no health insurance) has no other option, but to rely on the ability to get help with her dilemma. She may also live in a state that has made any option other than bearing the child, unavailable to her.. By definition, she "asked for it".

The Akins.
