Akin's comments were actually true though perhaps overstated. Randy Alcorn, on page 78 in his book "Why Pro-Life", writes the following: Studies conducted by the pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute indicate that two consenting and fertile adults have only a three percent chance of pregnancy form an act of intercourse. They also indicate there are factors involved in a rape that further reduce these chances for rape victims. So, rape victims have a lower chance of getting pregnant. Perhaps, this is because rape is a horribly traumatic event and that trauma disturbs the way the victim's body works. To deny that emotional trauma affects the body is to deny reality.

The problem with Akin's comments is not that he was wrong. The problem is that his comments made him look insensitive to rape victims. We all make mistakes and i don't think this mistake makes him unqualified to be a senator. This mistake does make it extremely difficult to win the election. He should step aside for someone with a better chance to win.

OK, but you'll never get it at the federal level without getting public support. How do you get public support without making the case? What better way to make the case than with state level personhood amendments?

i'd prefer Romney to pick judges. But that wasn't the question during the primaries. During the PRIMARIES, the question was Romney or Santorum or Gingrich or Bachmann or Perry? Personhood USA knows that Romney had a record of supporting baby-killing while all of the others did not. So of course, it spent money against Romney. It made total sense. During the General Election, it doesn't make any sense for Personhood to spend money against Romney because Obama is a full-throated supporter of baby-killing. If Personhood did so, then Ms Alexander would have a point. Instead, she's just practicing deception.

Parents have an obligation to care for their children. Because the child's location doesn't change the parents' obligation, the obligation applies before birth. Parents shouldn't be able to avoid of their obligation by killing the one to whom their obligated.

that's really dumb. why don't you ask Santorum & Gingrich that same question. It's called a primary. Are you really suggesting that pro-life groups should stay silent on a candidate's human rights record?

Perhaps, Ms Alexander is not intentionally being untruthful. She claims that personhood spent money attacking Romney.... well yes... during the primary. Romney has a very bad record that he has to run away from. Anybody can see that Santorum is a far better pro-life candidate than Romney so it makes sense for a pro-life group to undermine Romney. Duh. I guess this means the funding must be coming from Soros. That's just stupid.
