Todd Akin's Wisdom

The guy who actually proposed the notion of "legitimate" rape was a man named Dr. John Willke. According to him, legalising abortion doesn't make it safer, and other fun 'facts':

As Willke told an Associated Press reporter in a 1989 interview: “If, in fact, the elimination of illegal abortion eliminated back alleys, there should have been a perceptible drop in the number of women dying. That didn’t happen. The line didn’t even blip from 1967 to 1973 and 1974. ... It just kept going down at the same slow rate. There was no evidence of a decline in mortality from legalization.”

Ah...science!
