There are many issues concerning abortion, contraception, PP, rape and health insurance that are In play in this election. Republicans if elected have promised to restrict or even ban abortion, limit health care insurance for contraception, and eliminate PP. For women these issues are anything but a "political distraction".
This sounds like a democrat wish list. They could only dream these were major concerns nationally. Most polls show the economy, jobs, and federal debts and deficits as the leading concern. But I'm sure the wedge issue campaign will continue.

Morgan is pissed because he needed the ratings. Is Morgan turning into an O'Reiley blowhard? You call him a pinhead Piers not a twerp.

Mr. Akin said it on purpose....that's so those in the spotlight look more legit....the dems get to ride this little ripple made by this statement....
You are right, he did say this on purpose. The campaign wanted to get this issue through the 24 hour media cycle in August instead of October. Paul Ryan signed onto legislation with Todd Akin that could be used as a women's wedge issue. Since the campaign knew this, they let the genie out of the bottle now instead of later.

Poll finds Akin with slim lead over McCaskill after rape comments
By Alexandra Jaffe - 08/21/12 06:55 AM ET
Two new polls suggest Rep. Todd Akin (R-Mo.) is still competitive in his race for Missouri's Senate seat despite the firestorm over his controversial comments on rape.
A poll released by Democratic-leaning Public Policy Polling (PPP) late Monday still gives Akin a single-percentage-point lead over incumbent Sen. Claire McCaskill (D), the same lead he posted in a PPP poll from late May.
A Survey USA poll, however, finds that a majority of Missourians believe he misspoke and want him to drop out, but that Akin still has support among Republicans in the red-trending state.
Akin tops McCaskill by 44 percent to 43 in the PPP survey, nearly identical to their May poll where he led by 45 percent to 44, but the edge is within the survey’s 4-point margin of error.
Which countries provide no exceptions to their laws outlawing all abortion? There are currently only 5:
Malta Dominican Republic El Salvador Nicaragua Chile
Even Saudi Arabia allows women to receive abortions for their own health or lives.
