Ex-Babes in Toyland bassist Maureen Herman’s appeal to Rep. Todd Akin
Dear Mr. Akin,
They say that Missouri is the “Show Me” state. Well, Rep. Akin, I’d like you to meet my daughter. I’d like to show you how dead wrong you are when you say that women rarely get pregnant from rape. I’m writing this letter to let you know that you definitely can, because it happened to me, and I have a 9 year old to prove it.

Maureen is one of my favorite people ever. Read this.
