They still don't realize Ryan helped him with legislation that would force women to give birth to the rapists child. If the truth be told, Ryan might be even more extreme than Akin. I think Akin's views are due to ignorance of biology and the way he was raised. Ryan on the other hand I think is fully aware there is no magic fairy dust that prevents pregnancy from rape. I believe he thinks rape is one of those made up things in all cases, women just be lyin. Anyway, I hate them both equally, I just think Akin has the defense of being stupid.

so I'm not sure if it's all about $$ or if he really believes the anti-women propaganda.

Could it be he is simply ambitious and practical, his own upbringing making him expert in knowing what to say to raise money
