LA Times Grating "Take" on Todd Akin


The media onslaught which followed Akin's "legitimate rape" commented suggested immoral interpretations, such as Akin's latent misogyny, for example, or a troglodyte world view. While I do not agree with the notion of "abortion only in the case of the life of the mother", the following calumhy against the US Senate candidate was uncalled for.

The senator was not reelected.

This misstatement is one of many which belongs to the LA Times. Akin was not running for reelection as a senator, in the first place. The paper did not get its facts straight, then proceeded to malign the character of a Congressman who hasa view on "right to life" which does not necessarily imply "no rights for women."

The heading "no respect for rape victims" was patently false.
