Akin has worked closely with Paul Ryan and others to overturn decades of feminist progress, scientific knowledge, and human compassion.

It is no accident that they frame rape as having degrees of gravity. No accident that they are constantly looking for ways to implement their absolutist anti-abortion doctrine.
