  WASHINGTON  (AP)  -  Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is distancing himself from congressman  Todd Akin who says a woman's body "has ways" to prevent pregnancy after rape.  Romney's campaign says that he and his running mate, Wisconsin congressman Paul Ryan disagree with Akin's comments.  A Romney spokeswoman says a  Romney administration would not oppose abortion in the cases of rape.
