Akin Stirs Up Abortion Debate

Kara Miller looks at the aftermath of Republican Senate candidate Todd Akin's comments on abortion and "legitimate" rape. Akin stirred up the anti-abortion and pro-abortion debate- a topic that has already been agitating Americans across the political and religious spectrum. We look at the anti-abortion movement and how it's playing out politically and culturally.
