Obviously, Rep. Todd Akin (R-Mo.) didn't get the memo. We've accounted for how we should treat the rapist, and we've accounted for how we should treat the product of the rape -- the fetus or unborn child, depending on how you see abortion -- and I guess that's it. But wait, wasn't there someone else involved? Oh yes, the woman. The person who had to endure the rape, who is suspected of not having suffered a "legitimate" rape and who now, according to Akin, should be legally obliged to bring the rapist's baby to term. |
