The backlash against Missouri Republican senatorial candidate Todd Akin continues to grow after Akin made the senseless remark that women could prevent themselves from getting pregnant in the instance of being raped.
Presidential hopeful Mitt Romney had his spokesperson report that in the case of a Romney/Ryan presidency the pair would not try to limit abortion access for rape victims. Which is a tremendous relief right? Not really, though it does serve the purpose of distancing themselves from Akin's asinine statement.
One of the most interesting articles that I've come across about the situation is from the website rawstory.
I didn't know this- but apparently female ducks have developed genitalia that can actually prevent sperm from forced penetrations from reaching the egg.
The scientist reporting stated:
“It shows that females are not passive in averting exploitation by males with large phalluses."
Another fact I did not know:
Waterfowl are among only three percent of birds with phalluses large enough to penetrate their female counterparts with or without consent.
Seriously though this article is a must read- go click the link above. I chose not to view the video of a duck penis at the end but if you do please feel free to comment.
