Ready for this? Congressman Todd Akin is on the House Science Committee.

Is that like a joke or what? Who makes these decisions in regard to committee assignments? Speaker Boner? It goes to prove the GOP is not only regressive and dysfunctional, but, seeks to impose those values on the nation.


...His House website (click title to entry - thank you)  indicates that he earned a BS in management engineering from Worcester Polytechnical Institute. Interestingly, this official biography fails to note that he also earned a Master of Divinity at Covenant Theological Seminary in St. Louis. However, his new campaign website for his Senate run proudly notes this degree.
Regardless of his comments on pregnancy and lack of health sciences education, Akin currently serves on the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology....

Promises, promises, promises.

...Vicky Hartzler, (click here) who will be replacing Ike Skelton, announced she has been assigned to the House Armed Services Committee, a promise made to her by Speaker-designate John Boehner earlier this year, as well as the Agriculture committee....

If Akin states rape has to qualify as legitimate, I can only imagine what he qualifies as science. I am quite sure if there is no economic benefit it is not science.
