What is Romney Ryan's Position on "Legitimate" Rape as a Means of Birth Control?

Rep. Paul Ryan with fellow anti-choice Rep.Todd Akin

Senate candidate Todd Akin from the second district in Missouri, the show me state, assures voters in his senatorial campaign that any pregnant "rape" victims are whores and liars.

"Legitimate Rape" prevents  "legitimate rape" victims from getting pregnant because a good girl's body juices will reject the rapist's sperm. It is all very scientific he says. So he must know what he is talking bout.

Paul Ryan, also against Abortion, probably agrees with fellow house member Todd pictured above.

Akin said that even in the worst-case scenario — when the supposed natural protections against unwanted pregnancy fail — abortion should still not be a legal option for the rape victim. 
“Let’s assume that maybe that didn’t work, or something,” Akin said. “I think there should be some punishment, but the punishment ought to be on the rapist and not attacking the child.”
