Some of it was hard to understand, so hopefully I heard right. But it sounded to me like he said, he's pro-life, including being anti-capital punishment. He said he makes exceptions in the cases of, mother's health, rape and incest. He also said he believes in easy access to birth control.

Did I hear wrong? Because if I didn't, that's nothing like Akin.
