In August 2012, Akin addressed a suggestion that there should be a broad rape exception for limiting abortion. He distinguished between an actual rape and a false allegation of rape by referring to the former as a "legitimate rape," an ambiguous word choice that the [[liberal media]] then took out of context. The Romney-Ryan campaign, which has caved in to [[liberals]] on abortion and other important social issues, ran away from Todd Akin in a manner that reflected poorly on themselves.
