According to this distorted logic there never is a need for abortion after rape because women's bodies magically dispose of such "illegitmate" progeny on their own. What makes this narrative so potent is it exposes such distortions by reminding us that the personal is indeed politicalProfessor Alyson M.

I realize it must tear you apart having to think of that devastating day again. It astonishes me how ignorant Todd Akin and others can actually be and how they spin their apologies never actually stating their true opinions. Akin may be sorry to have used an incorrect word, but his thoughts are still the same - and he wants to be elected. You may be petite, but you have more inner strength than any gargantuan being.<br />August 27, 2012 5:14 AM <br />Linda Rosenhttp://www.linda-rosen.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3294803773106909231.post-85914213997566422692012-08-31T06:34:55.429-07:002012-08-31T06:34:55.429-07:00What a terrible experience.
