The late, great Rep. Todd Akin and his BASED "Legitimate Rape" comments

Former U.S. Rep. Todd Akin, a conservative Missouri Republican, made a comment that women's bodies have a way of avoiding pregnancies in cases of "legitimate rape." The overreaction sunk his bid for the U.S. Senate after it sparked RINO GOP outcry to quit his senate race, but he didn't! Rep. Akin released an ad begging for forgiveness for his comments on rape and pregnancy (per ABC News, Aug 21, 2012).

BTW: Rep. Akin died at age 74 in October 2021.

Akin had cancer for several years, his son, Perry, said in a statement. He died at his home in Wildwood, a St. Louis suburb.

“As my father’s death approached, we had people from all different walks of life share story after story of the personal impact he had on them,” Perry Akin said in a statement to The Associated Press.

“He was a devout Christian, a great father, and a friend to many. We cherish many fond memories from him driving the tractor at our annual hayride, to his riveting delivery of the freedom story at 4th of July parties dressed in the full uniform of a colonial minuteman. The family is thankful for his legacy: a man with a servant’s heart who stood for truth.”

Akin represented a Republican-leaning eastern Missouri district that included St. Louis-area suburbs for 12 years, giving up a safe seat to run for the U.S. Senate in 2012. He emerged from a crowded GOP primary to challenge then incumbent Democratic U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill, only to seriously hurt Republicans' chances of recapturing a Senate majority less than two weeks later.
