Todd Akin in 2008: Doctors give Abortions to Women who aren't Pregnant
Yes, ladies and gentlemen...you read the title correctly. If only this was a joke:
As Slate's Amanda Marcotte reported Tuesday, Akin gave a speech on the House floor in 2008 denouncing abortion providers as "terrorists," claiming that they sometimes perform abortions on women who "are not actually pregnant" And yes, there's a clip from C-Span on the Slate article of him saying that (that would be embedded in the "are not actually pregnant" on the Huffington Post Article).
Dear Akin,
You need to re-take a course in biology because an abortion CANNOT happen if there is no pregnancy to terminate. If she's not pregnant, what the hell do you think is being aborted?
Sincerely,
Moi
This is another clear example of why politicans SHOULD NEVER be involved in anyone's health, whether if it's reproductive or not.
