One of the good pieces of news why we're winning this war is because there are not enough heartless doctors being graduated from medical schools. There's a real shortage of abortionists. Who wants to be at the very bottom of the food chain of the medical profession? And what sort of places do these bottom-of-the-food-chain doctors work in? Places that are really a pit. You find that along with the culture of death go all kinds of other law-breaking: not following good sanitary procedure, giving abortions to women who are not actually pregnant , cheating on taxes, all these kinds of things, misuse of anesthetics so that people die or almost die. All of these things are common practice, and all of that information is available for America. And the day is coming where this public discussion will continue, and America will say, "We're tired of abortion, because it's so fundamentally un-American." And this, like a bad nightmare, will pass away and there will be a day, just as there is today, where people say "Who would ever support slavery?" In the future there will be a day when men will say "Who would ever have supported something so un-American as abortion?"

One would think that after losing his mandate because of his “the female body can shut this whole thing down” gaffe he would stop commenting on any similar themes before repeating a high school health class.
I have nothing more to say that what I already posted in the Mary-Sue McClurkin thread:
MEMO
From: The board of the Republican Party
To: Every party member in any public office
Re: Public statements regarding the female human body
We advise every party member in an elected and/or public office to abstain from any public statements about the workings of the female human body until they consulted with at least one qualified medical practitioner about the issue in question.
This includes but is not restrained to: rape, conception, contraception, abortion and similar topics.
Otherwise the party fears that we will continue to put our collective foot in our collective mouth and will further alienate the voters.
And there are enough other topics where we can achieve that
It looks like the guy who said that birth control pills cause uteruses to be lined with dead fetuses and the woman who said that a fetus is the largest organ in the body took my suggestion, got married, and had a son.
...said Todd Akin, former Member of the House of Representatives.
'Former'. Mayhaps that one little word should clue you in on how your political career is like that of the dinosaurs: nonexistent .
Your continuing attitude - which resulted in said career becoming extinct, post-6th Nov. 2012 - is certainly just as prehistoric.
Enjoy your guitar-playing & gospel singing, Toddy-boy. . you've now got all the time in the world to do so now.
Claire McCaskill appreciates you keeping that seat warm for her on Capitol Hill. [/hyper-sarcasm]

Even the Kubrick Stare would give Fluttershy pause. o_O;
This guy is from my state. I am infinitely sorry he was ever a serious candidate for McCaskill's seat. And furthermore, I'm sorry he even got a seat in the House. I just...I thought STL was better than him.

giving abortions to women who are not actually pregnant
How exactly does that work?
"Who would ever have supported something so un-American as abortion?"
Half the country?
One could argue and try to figure out wtf Todd's trying to say, but I'm just going to go with Brian's advice from Family Guy: It's easier just to call him stupid.
Honestly, we might as well ban abortion under the reason that people like Todd have no fucking clue how the abortions or the female body works.
"giving abortions to women who are not actually pregnant"
Abortion is just a buzzword for you, isn't it Todd?
"giving abortions to women who are not actually pregnant"
When I think about the fact that this idiot got elected several times, and was member of any kind of committee having to do with science, I feel a really deep need to build a 10m fence around the United States and let nobody ever get out of there again.
(I know there are many many many Americans that aren't stupid, but quite intelligent. But this is an instictual need when I read stuff like this; it has nothing to do with logic.)
And again, fundie statements break their back under the burden of proof.
Give me some numbers, some verifiable sources for the figures you use, and I might just be a hair more inclined to believe you.
Until then, I'm treating your statements as gossip.
""Who would ever have supported something so un-American as abortion?""
Who would have ever supported something so un-American as fundieism?
UnAmerican fundies of course. And in the future they will still be supporting it.
You are just a fountain of wrong, aren't you? Just about every sentence in your screed introduces another element of stupidly wrong, unsupported crap. Well done, sh*twit.
Great, so if we can chase out all the doctors doing abortions, we'll have unqualified people do them instead as their patients, and the unborn they carry, die bleeding on some kitchen table. What heart. What humanity.
If you're winning the war so well, why don't the American people agree?
Sir, I believe your pants are on fire. A majority of American support choice. If the misogynists ever do succeed I think they will see a backlash that would make their little heads spin. More to the point DIAF! There is a shortage of DOCTORS willing and able to provide abortion because you lot do everything you can to prevent them from learning a basic medical procedure in medical school and they threaten the lives of those brave enough to do it! Fuck you sideways with a cactus! I am so fucking sick and tired of these misogynists doing everything they can to make women's lives difficult.
"In the future there will be a day when men will say 'Who would ever have supported something so un-American as abortion?'"
Women, you ignorant sexist dipshit. You know, those people who actually carry the babby you jizz your pants over so much?
Well done akin, you asshole, go right ahead and congratulate yourself about driving doctors away from such work. Especially since they're being driven out due to fanatical domestic terrorists, while you offer halfhearted condemnation and cheer on the inside. I hope your head melts.
In the future there will be a day when men will say "Who would ever have supported something so un-American as abortion?"
Men will say that, huh? Not the women who actually get pregnant.
And what in hell does cheating on taxes have to do with giving abortions to women who aren't pregnant? Are you capable of rational thought?
Todd, Todd, Todd, they really screwed you over by not smothering you in your crib. Now you get to be laughed at for the rest of your life.
One of the good pieces of news why we're winning this war
No, you're side is losing.
giving abortions to women who are not actually pregnant.
And they're not pregnant because they were "legitimately raped". Am I right Todd?
As for the rest, how long has your nose grown?
It thought that proctologists and urologists where at the bottom of the food chain of the medical profession, at least literally.
You have citations for all these things you are claiming, of course?
Abortions are legal in the US, so there are no OTHER law-breaking stuff, stupid. You seem to talk about back-alley abortionists, who only exist where abortions are illegal. The back-alley abortionists often have a problem with sanitary procedures, leaving the women infertile. Why the heck would anyone give a non-pregnant woman an abortion?
Women having reproductive rights is un-American? Women having the right to decide what happens to their bodies is un-American? Letting women die when an abortion could have saved their lives is American? What people will (hopefully) say in the future is "Who would ever support tyranny over women, and women being the property of men?".
In Sweden abortions are performed in hospitals by the same doctors that care for all aspects of reproductive health and women-specific medicine, the gynecologists. I have never met a heartless one yet, most of them are very kind and gentle.
"We're tired of abortion, because it's so fundamentally un-American"
Let your strange fantasies go on, because they're never coming true. They only occur in a country I would never want to live in, along with "legitimate rape".
"cheating on taxes"
Like your fundie buddy Kent Hovind? I thought your kind believes that not paying taxes is a Constitutional right. Not that you know anything about the Constitution. Or anything else, for that matter.
"giving abortions to women who are not actually pregnant"
... So is this just some weird fetish, or what? Seriously, how could even Todd Akin's deranged mind construe this as something that could EVER happen for any reason whatsoever?
I'm waiting for America to say, "We're tired of Todd Akin, because he's so fundamentally moronic"; and he, (hopefully) like a bad nightmare will pass away and there will be a day...
We can only hope there will be such a day...
giving abortions to women who are not actually pregnant
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAH! HAHAHAHA...ha...ha...I can't breathe.
OK, Todd, Todd...PLEASE be a troll. If you're not, you are the single stupidest human being to which I have ever born witness.
The only time I hear about there being a shortage of abortion providers it's because of state laws making it difficult for clinics to operate or doctors wanting to avoid death threats given by "loving Christians."
Your feel-good bullshit rant here is just that, bullshit.
I think these "abortions" for women who aren't pregnant consist of somebody waving medical instruments in the vague direction of a vagina, making noises, and then fraudulently billing their insurance.
Or they consist of Mr. Akin's fevered, illogical thoughts.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
