Vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan says that he personally believes that rape is just another method of conception and not an excuse to allow abortions.
During an interview with WJHL this week, Ryan was asked his view about Rep. Todd Akin, who recently asserted that women could not get pregnant from legitimate rape.
