RE: The footnote

The GOP reaps what it sowed - Salon.com

And even as “mainstream” Republicans were repudiating Akin, they were presiding over the most extreme antiabortion language yet in the 2012 party platform, again calling for a ban even in cases of rape and incest. Although Romney claims to support those exceptions to abortion bans, he didn’t lift a finger to influence the platform – because he couldn’t have if he tried. Todd Akin has more power than Romney on that front.
