Akin's idiocy

I normally stick to economics issues but this Akin thing is such a big deal that I need to say something. The republicans are, to quote Sorkin, doing a big thing badly.

They should very, very quickly introduce legislation that strips rapists of their parental rights. The fact that women can be forced into ongoing contact with their convicted rapist in some states is so abhorrent that it should be slammed shut RIGHT NOW.
