Pastor Stands Behind Akin After Rape Statements

http://fox4kc.com/2012/08/22/local-donors-standing-with-akin/

"Of those FOX 4 reached, all said they still support Akin in his race against Democrat Claire McCaskill. Sharon Allen is a pastor in the Northland who says Akin’s pro-life abortion stance is more important to her than his admitted gaffe about the probability of woman becoming pregnant after she’s been raped.
“I’m really surprised as an American citizen and as a pastor that we would not stand behind our people, especially when they just made a mistake,” Allen said. “I think he repented and he said he was sorry and I think that the Repubican party, I don’t know why this has got so bent out of shape.”

The entire basis for their insane views comes from those creepy false ideas they keep and spread to others. He did not make a mistake, he said exactly what they all believe and this so called minister knows she is lying about it. They lie with such ease. They always follow up lunacy from one of them with another begging for forgiveness for the 'error'. It is an old tired tactic.
