Todd Akin on women’s issues in Kansas City campaign stop

"
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Rep. Todd Akin is still making people mad.

“Very rarely does a politician say enough stuff to get me angry enough to come out and protest,” Wilson Pipkin, a college student in Kansas City, told me at a demonstration against Akin.

Akin was dogged by protesters at nearly every campaign stop in Kansas City on Friday, the last leg of his four-day “Common Sense” tour of Missouri.
On the sidewalk outside of the downtown hotel where he held a news conference, two dozen or more protesters, many clad in pink Planned Parenthood T-shirts, demonstrated."

The teabagger riots of 2010 were despicable. At least democrats are being civil.
