Akin was explaining his opposition to abortion even in cases of rape, a viewpoint he shares with other conservative members of the Republican Party, including Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, Mitt Romney's vice presidential running mate.

(snip)
Ryan, however, has long maintained an opposition to abortion in all cases except when the life of the mother is at risk. He co-sponsored a bill in the House last year that bestowed "personhood" rights on fertilized embryos, which would effectively ban abortions in all cases.

A Romney campaign official said that the House Budget chairman's personal view remain unchanged, but that the position of the ticket reflected Romney's stance - that abortion should be legal in cases of rape.

Democrats, meanwhile, wasted no time linking Akin to the GOP presidential ticket, soliciting donations from supporters by asserting the GOP – "led by Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan" – was pushing policies that were dangerous for women.

1. This is truly the beginning of the end for the Rethuglicans.

All the Democratic Party has to link each and every Republican to either Romney or Ryan (not that hard to do), and tie their votes with his, and tell them that they believe in the exact extreme views of Ryan.
