“First of all, from what I understand from doctors, (pregnancy from rape) is really rare, If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down. But let’s assume that maybe that didn’t work or something. I think there should be some punishment, but the punishment ought to be on the rapist and not attacking the child.”

Sure Todd Akin just handed the Missouri Senate race to Democrat Claire McCaskill, but the even bigger story is the Akin connection to Paul Ryan.
Not only will the two of them do everything in their power to ensure that a big intrusive government will force women to give birth to children conceived from rape, deny them any funding in birth control, but these soul brothers authored HR 3 which removed any federal funds to poor women to terminate their pregnancies due to rape and incest.

BTW, the sex act produces a 5% pregnancy rate no matter it be consensual, rape, legitimate rape, or illegitimate rape. So how do these KIND of people come up with all this ignorant swill?
