Missouri Right to Life has been inundated with requests for interviews regarding Rep. Todd Akin. We responded by issuing a statement in support of Akin’s defense of the life of an unborn child conceived in rape. Nothing has changed with the MRL PAC endorsement of Akin for the U.S. Senate.
Akin’s statement defending the lives of unborn children conceived in rape has been misinterpreted and attacked by the media, anti-life extremists and many squeamish Republicans who lack the intestinal fortitude to defend their own platform which states: “We assert the sanctity of human life and affirm that the unborn child has a fundamental individual right to life which cannot be infringed.”
