TOWN AND COUNTRY, Mo. Rep. Todd Akin now famous as the candidate who
couldnt take a hint has spent his 11-year House career as a legislative
hero to Christian groups, but a minor force on Capitol Hill.
.
Akin has tried mightily to increase the role of religion in government. He
proposed creating a National Year of the Bible in 2008 and an official day
of fasting and prayer in 2003 to gird the nation for war in Iraq. Four
times, the Missouri Republican wrote bills to keep judges from striking
under God from the Pledge of Allegiance.
.
None of them became law. Of the 52 measures Akin has introduced during his
career, just three have been signed by the president. They all renamed
post offices in Missouri for service members who died in Iraq.
But if Akin has carved out only a small legacy on the Hill, he has made
loyal allies among conservative legislators and Christian groups. Now
after he has been rejected by most of the GOP establishment these are the
friends he has left.

.
The national GOPs leadership has turned on Akin, now a candidate for
Senate, after a local TV interview broadcast Sunday. Akin was asked to
defend his opposition to abortion, even in cases in which the pregnancy
began with a rape.
.
From what I understand from doctors, thats really rare, Akin said. If its
a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole
thing down.
.
Scientists say he was wrong. Akin has since apologized for what he called
ill-conceived remarks. But a chorus of Republicans is still calling for
him to drop out.
