STATEMENT FROM DR. ED WEISBART REGARDING TODD AKIN’S EXTREME VIEWS ON BIRTH CONTROL
In response to Todd Akin’s call for a total ban on emergency contraception:
“Emergency contraception, also called the morning-after pill, is a higher dosage of the same hormones found in ordinary birth control pills. It is highly effective in reducing a woman's chance of pregnancy after a contraceptive failure or unprotected sex – including rape,” said Dr. Weisbart.
“Emergency contraception prevents pregnancy and should not be confused with medical abortion. Emergency contraception and the abortion pill RU-486 are not the same thing. EC works before a pregnancy is established, not afterward. If a woman is already pregnant, EC will not work, nor will it terminate her pregnancy.”
“The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, ACOG, has launched several campaigns aimed at increasing access to and knowledge about emergency contraception. It’s unconscionable for a politician like Todd Akin to use his bully pulpit to mislead women and interfere with their health care decisions,” said Dr. Weisbart.

What is the functional difference between Sharia law and Rapin' Akin's plans for American women? Young girls must be forced to marry their rapists and bear their children to protect their embarassed families says Islamic law. Young girls must be forced to bear their rapists babies because life is sacred and abortion is wrong says Rapin' Tod Akin.
Both sets of laws are said to be instituted for the benefit of women and their families. How can either of these laws benefit a twelve year old victim of rape? Rapin' Akin does not have the science right, but he wants to be in charge of the sexual lives of our nation's women. Moron.
OMG GOP WTF? Where does the Republican Party find these FruitBat Perverts? You cannot tell me they think this will fly. I am not crazy for Claire McCaskill but she looks like Mother Jones compared to this Forced Birther.
