| Click here to View Full Text, With Photos, of all Today's Stories On One Page The huge controversy over U.S. Republican Senate candidate Todd Akin’s clumsy response to an abortion question has inadvertently led to a much needed public discussion about the abortion/rape issue. Abortion advocates have unjustly used it for decades as a club to intimidate and demean pro-life citizens. Some pro-life leaders have taken the opportunity to use the Akin flare up as an opportunity to educate the public about this phony propaganda effort to falsely paint abortion opponents as heartless woman haters.

Against all predictions, he just might be able to stay and hold his lead in the Missouri race. We will see how it unfolds. Hilary White, Jill Stanek, Kathleen Gilbert and Ben Johnson contribute more opinion and news on the controversy today.
