Akin Goes Full Fetus In New Call for Support

I think we’re at the point where we can say the Akin debacle is moving in a direction national Republicans distinctly don’t want it to go in. After categorically refusing to drop out of the race, Todd Akin has now come out with graphic new imagery of a fetus to push his call for support from pro-lifers.

Clearly Akin wants to stay and he seems intent on creating a ‘with me or a against me’ choice for committed pro-lifers as his main gambit in his bid to hang on.
