Todd Akin: Ban the morning-after bill "totally, for everyone"

Todd Akin has wasted no time positioning himself waaaay outside the mainstream in his general election campaign. Less than 12 hours after his Primary Election win, Akin called for the complete ban of emergency contraception on KCMO radio.  Akin misunderstands the science behind morning-after pills (shocking!), but that's not slowing him down.  Listen for yourself: http://youtu.be/APzrcpetPSA

Q: Just to be clear, though, you would like to ban the morning after pill totally for everyone?
TA: Yeah.  I think that is a form of abortion and I don't support it.
