Bryan Fischer, a conservative radio host and an official with the American Family Association, compared Rep. Todd Akin (R-MO), to a rape victim Tuesday, after Akin’s controversial comments about “legitimate rape” prompted a wave of outrage toward the Missouri Senate candidate.
“You talk about a forcible situation, you talk about somebody being a victim of forcible assault, that would be Todd Akin,” Fischer said.
Akin has been under fire since Sunday, when he said that victims of “legitimate rape” aren’t as likely to become pregnant because the “female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.”
On Tuesday, Mitt Romney called on Akin to step aside, but Akin insisted he isn’t going anywhere.
