Rep. Akin Was Right About Rape And Pregnancy, If Hed Been Talking About Ducks
Thats right, folks.
Senate GOP nominee Rep. Todd Akin would have been correct that victims of legitimate rape do not get pregnant because of natural resistance mechanisms if he had been talking about female ducks.
To wit: In order to protect against legitimate rape, duck vaginas have evolved over time (hey wait evolution? likely an illegitimate term in Akins dictionary) to include mechanisms to resist male ducks forced access, including dead-ends and corkscrew shapes.
Male duck penises have a counterclockwise thread, and the female duck vagina has developed a clockwise tubing. This makes successful penetration much harder if the female is non-cooperative. The dead ends make it so that sperm will land into the wrong area and thus fail to reach the female ducks eggs. However, a perfectly willing female is much more easily impregnated.

... otherwise the GOP can put a different candidate on the ballot.

(36,974 posts)6. And here's something I just found
UPDATE
Missouri law does allow Akin to withdraw from the race somewhat later than tomorrow although Akin must still voluntarily agree to step aside, and his ability to withdraw after tomorrow is not guaranteed:
Except as provided for in section 115.247, if there is no additional cost for the printing or reprinting of ballots, or if the candidate agrees to pay any printing or reprinting costs, a candidate who has filed or is nominated for an office may, at any time after the time limits set forth in subsection 1 of this section but no later than 5:00 p.m. on the sixth Tuesday before the election, withdraw as a candidate pursuant to a court order, which, except for good cause shown by the election authority in opposition thereto, shall be freely given upon application by the candidate to the circuit court in the county of such candidates residence. No withdrawal pursuant to this subsection shall be effective until such candidate files a copy of the courts order in the office of the official who accepted such candidates declaration of candidacy.

The doctor said "In Ducks .."
But Akin heard:
{Hee. Hee, Hee} "He said Fucks!"
