Democrats tie Akin 'legitimate rape' comments to Romney-Ryan

Democrats are trying to tie Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan to GOP Rep. Todd Akin's claim that victims of "legitimate rape" rarely get pregnant, accusing Republicans of trying to drag women back to "the Dark Ages."
"Akin's choice of words isn't the real issue here," Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz said in a fundraising email. "The real issue is a Republican Party—led by Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan—whose policies on women and their health are dangerously wrong."
"I'm outraged at the Republicans trying to take women back to the Dark Ages—if you agree, join me in taking a stand for women," she said.
the overall attitude toward women is indicative of the collective language used by all of the right, and ROMYAN'S previous stances on the subject are complicit.  "BUSTED"
But Wasserman Schultz highlighted Romney's vow to end federal funding for Planned Parenthood and noted that Ryan co-sponsored legislation that would have narrowed the rape exception in an anti-abortion bill to "forcible rape." House Republicans dropped the measure after an outcry.
"And what do Romney and Ryan think of Akin's latest statement? They've been trying to distance themselves from it—but Congressman Ryan has already partnered with Akin on a whole host of issues that restrict women's ability to make their own health care decisions," she said.
