The Last Supper - Akin, Romney, Ryan, GOP Eating Off the Same Plate!

A recent Associated Press article entitled Congressman: Pregnancy from Tape “Rare” reports that Tea Partied Congressman Todd Akin stated that it is “really rare” for women to become pregnant when they are raped…If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down”!?!?!?

His statement created an uproar among Tea Partied Republican presidential/vice presidential candidates, congressmen, Super Pac(ers), FOXifiers and pundits clamoring for Akin to bow out of the Missouri US Senate race. The question is why?

Romney supported anti-abortion pro-lifer, John Willke and campaigns on eliminating Planned Parenthood which would, in turn, eliminate middle class and poor women's preventive health care accessibility including cancer screenings, family life education, and education services to prevent teen pregnancy. (qctimes.com and planned parenthood.com)

Romney's VP pick Paul Ryan “teamed up with Akin in the House to sponsor harsh anti-abortion bills” (ny times.com)

The Republican Party “establishment” approved “strict anti-abortion” language in their Party Platform. (nytimes.com)

So, why are Romney, Ryan, other GOP Tea Partiers and Super Pac(ers) complaining about Akin’s statements when they are all on the same page - crucify women, the middle class and the poor?
