An appeal to Todd Akin

Maureen Herman was the bassist with Babes In Toyland. She's lived through a lot since then; today, she's written an open letter to Todd 'legitimate rape' Akin explaining why his remarks are dangerous, and how they disrespect her, and her daughter, a child of rape. If you read only one thing on Akin's crass ignorance - hell, if you read only one thing, period, you should make it this.
