Tom Smith, the GOP candidate for the U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania says that becoming pregnant via rape is “similar” to having a baby out of wedlock — for the father of the mother. Smith, 64, (image, top,) who is challenging Democratic U.S. Senator Bob Casey, Jr., made the comments, in the wake of last week’s Congressman Todd Akin rape comments, to an Associate Press reporter. Smith does not support abortion in any situation, “period,” per his campaign website. Smith in the audio calls his position on abortion “very simplistic.”
