Akin: "Giving Abortions to Women Who Are Not Actually Pregnant, Cheating on Taxes"
More Insanity from Todd Akin: Accuses Providers of "Giving Abortions to Women Who Are Not Actually Pregnant, Cheating on Taxes"
Akin is a gift that keeps giving.
Congressman Todd Akin, a Christian conservative running for a US Senate seat held by Missouri Democrat Claire McCaskill, re-ignited an explosive debate over abortion rights.
The Todd Akin misogynist comment train just keeps rolling on and on.
Over at Slate's Double X, Amanda Marcotte exposes some old C-span footage of Akin as a congressman that matches up perfectly with the candidate's bizarre worldview evidenced by his "legitimate rape" comment, his decrying of Claire McCaskill as an unladylike wildcat , and the recently unveiled information that he was once arrested for protesting (read: blocking access to) an abortion clinic.
Here are three of the craziest Akin claims unearthed in these videos.
1-Women are mere climate-control and food providing incubatotion vessels for embryos:
"Now an embryo may seem like some scientific or laboratory term, but in fact the embryo contains the unique information that defines a person. All you add is food and climate control, and some time, and the embryo becomes you or me."
2-If we allow stem cell research (presumably step one), we will soon be creating human clones for the express purpose of harvesting their organs. This is something Akin calls "step three." His evidence for this dastardly plot? A sci-fi story his daughter wrote about it.

Because Vaginas have off switches too according to this nut.
I think it is very sad that this man has daughters!
I know, but who can resist? Having an abortion for a nonexistent fetus, is better than watching 'Fantastia' on the Starship Enterprise.
This is now the same state that put a bust of that fat fuck Rush Limbaugh in their state Hall Of Fame, and are spending thousands each year on a security camera for it.
He clearly doesn't have enough brains to dress himself each morning. He's dumber than Palin and I didn't think that was within the possibilities allowed by the laws of the universe.
Ye gads! 
I know the details of the procedure and NO woman, I mean NO woman, would go through that unless desperate. His comments don't just disgust me, they make me want to vomit.
And in both of my personal cases I made it clear I would take full responsibility, but in the later one I didn't have a choice. She had it without my knowledge (until later) and I was one of three possible "sperm donors". I told her that, but it was still her decision, not mine. It's a brutal procedure and nothing you would want to go through for money. Where do these morons get these ideas? It's like the "Welfare queen" meme. Nobody wants to be on Welfare, and it sure as shit won't buy you a Cadillac. We have a phrase for people like rMoney and Akin - "out of touch with reality".
