Results: Do you think Republican Senate candidate Todd Akin has any chance of winning a seat after his comments about rape?
Published on 08/21/2012
During an interview on TV, when asked if he would support abortions for women who have been raped, Republican Senate candidate Todd Akin said that "It seems to me, first of all, from what I understand from doctors, that's really rare. If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down." He repeatedly apologized for those comments on a national radio show on August 20, 2012.
