That is not the opinion of any political party. It is the opinion of an idiot.

Limbaugh said that he has heard similar claims about pregnancies that result from rape before from pro-lifers.


Perhaps I'm confused about the political affiliation of these folks.

Plus, Akins is not just "some guy". He is a sitting CONGRESSMAN. But he is not just a congressman, he has been elevated to be the CHAIR of the Science and Technology Committee. This is who *one of the political parties* looks to for guidance and expertise on such issues.
