because that, to me, is the essential. when people recoil at what todd akin said, i mean, some of it is obviously because of his incredibly, this kind of medieval language, and also this kind of impugning the honor of women who have gotten pregnant through rape, kind of implying that they weren't really raped. that they must be lying about what really happened. but the other piece of it that has so many people up in arms is that he's made really clear what many, many republicans believe. which, again, is that if you are raped and you get pregnant, as tens of thousands of women every year in this country do, the most reliable study i've seen from the american journal of obstetrics and gynecology puts it around 30,000 women a year in the united states, that the government should force you to carry that pregnancy to term against your will. >> goldie, does this open a window into republican thinking, that for those of us who think that abortion should be available, not just for rape victims, but especially for rape
