A video from 2008 of Missouri Senator Todd Akin has resurfaced showing Akin berating “terrorist” abortion doctors.

He also implied that it is common practice for these horrid physicians to give “abortions to women who are not actually pregnant.” Though, it is unclear how exactly a physician can perform an abortion on a woman who is not pregnant.

Akin then continues to say that abortions were more “un-American” than slavery.

The video was circulated on Wednesday as the senator was raising money in Washington for his campaign against Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill.

Akin is still trying to recover from the August fiasco when he said that women cannot get pregnant after a “legitimate rape.”
