Politics: I am now too angry to do anything useful today.

"First of all, from what I understand from doctors [pregnancy from rape] is really rare. If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down." - Rep. Todd Akin 8/19

I donated to his opponent: http://clairemccaskill.com/ and to http://www.plannedparenthoodaction.org/ Planned Parenthood today, thanks to this jerkwad.

He's also on the House Science committee, just FYI. Dark Ages Part 2, here we come.

Who the fuck is this, and where does the line start to punch him in the balls?

[karmaschild]

Senate nominee for Missouri. Also a member of the House's science and technology committee. Because, clearly, he knows how things work.

I just give the hell up. The world does not make sense and never will.

[karmaschild]

He's not exactly sorry.

By "I misspoke" he clearly means "you silly women don't understand my advanced thinking" and "rape victims will have no stronger advocate" as they are forced to raise the child conceived during their rape. I mean, how is this fucking real? This can't be real, right? We can't be this far behind still.

I dunno, man. I guess we'll find out in November.

I'm holding onto the hope that if this spreads quickly enough, the internet will rip this motherfucker apart/back the hell out of his opponent. Look at what fandom can do when it's happy?

[karmaschild]

I'm just worried that it's only August now and people have short fucking memories for politics.

I'm sure he'll say something stupid again soon. How could he not? That much ignorance bottled up has to be let out sometime.

[karmaschild]

I hope so. If he gets elected I don't even know what I'll do. It's too horrible to think about.

Exactly. Gibletheads like this are never wrong, it's WE who fail to understand them correctly.

I have a nicked-up sword blade that would love to make his acquaintance.
