On the one hand we have Todd Akins saying we shouldn’t let women have abortions due to rape because women rarely get pregnant from rape. On the other hand we have Mike Huckabee saying we shouldn’t let women have abortions due to rape because there have been any number of wonderful, valuable people who were conceived during a rape.

Didn’t the Republicans used to be better at the talking points thing than this?

(I am not holding my breath for Gov. Huckabee to tell us about all the wonderful, valuable people who were born to unwed teenaged mothers.)
