Todd Akin Arrested At Least Eight Times At Abortion Clinic Protests
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/03/todd-akin-arrest-abortion-clinic-protests_n_2069075.htmlOn Oct. 26, 1985, Akin was arrested for trespassing and resisting arrest. On April 19, 1985, he was arrested for trespassing in the 1st degree. On Dec. 27, 1986, it was disturbing the peace and trespassing, and on Feb. 28, 1987, it was trespassing in the 1st degree again. The dates and arrest records were contained in reports provided to The Huffington Post by Glasstetter.
When contacted by The Huffington Post about these four incidents, Akin adviser Rick Tyler replied, "No comment."
Akin's views opposing abortion access are well-known. In August, he infamously said he believes that women who are victims of "legitimate rape" are physically able to stop themselves from becoming pregnant -- a comment that was widely ridiculed and rejected by medical professionals, rape victims and politicians on both sides of the aisle.
