Todd "Legitimate Rape" Akin is a jailbird

Long before he made his notorious "legitimate rape" comments about women who seek abortions, Missouri Senate candidate Todd Akin (R) said he spent time in jail for participating in an anti-abortion demonstration.

Right Wing Watch published a video on Thursday of Akin recounting his arrest during a 2011 "pastor's briefing" with evangelical Christian minister David Barton. Akin says he "sat in front of these doors" -- presumably at an abortion facility -- where he was then taken to jail along with fellow protesters.
