2008 video shows that Todd Akin thinks abortion malpractice is ‘common place’ - VIDEO

I wonder how the threat of being murdered by "PRO-LIFE?" fanatics affects the number of doctors who perform abortions?

As much as I hate to align myself with Akin, he is correct. People don't go to medical schools thinking hey I want to be an abortionist. The field is full of 'doctors' who have failed or been kicked out of every other specialty and see this as a lucrative means of practice. Slim chance of malpractice suits because of the shame of having killed one's child. What could be better for all the hacks and has=beens in the medical field. All that happened with Roe v Wade was that the 'back-street' abortions hung out their shingles on Main St. They think the women they abort are trash and treat them accordingly. A young woman in Chicago died recently because the abortion clinic delayed emergency treatment for 5 hours. That is not the action of a caring physician. That is the action of a bumbling and ucaring practioner hoping the problem will go away.

What the hell does this have to do with being Irish?

As a Catholic Navy vet of Irish extraction, I find Akin to be bizarre with a "machine gun" mouth. However, McCaskill (Is that her real name or that of her husband?) is quite the hypocrite. She espouses to continue to be a Catholic and yet support unlimited abortion. She does draw the line with partial birth. However, abortions in the ninth month do not appear to be a problem. Her only critic was AB Raymond Burke and was "run out of St. Louis". I presume that she was complicit. I voted for Sarah Steelman and thousands of Demos crossed over to vote for Akin as the best cannon fodder for McCaskill. In spite of many "foot in mouth" comments, Akin is still in the race. Sadly, I McCaskill will be beaten. Missouri is going for Romney and Poor Claire will suffer the results.
