Republican Missouri Senate Candidate Todd Akin is apologizing for comments he made regarding women's bodies and rape.
“This weekend I made a mistake. I used the wrong words in the wrong way. What I said was ill-conceived and it was wrong and for that I apologize. I’m a dad of two daughters and I want tough justice for sexual predators and I’ve always had a compassionate heart for the victims of sexual assault."
Akin has received national criticism following his comments including members of his own party calling for him to drop out of the race.
