Here's a sample message to send to your friends:
Subject: Tell Rep. Todd Akin: Stop lying about rape
Dear Friend,
This is outrageous even for a Tea Party Republican.
Congressman Todd Akin, a member of the House and a Tea Party Republican Senate nominee, stated publicly that survivors of "legitimate rape" have biological defenses against pregnancy: "First of all, from what I understand from doctors [pregnancy from rape] is really rare... If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down."
This is not only an outright falsehood, but it's an offensive attack on women.
Tell Rep. Todd Akin: Stop lying about rape, and apologize to women.
