"He's made a mistake."

First District Congressman David McKinley says Missouri Representative Todd Akin created a lot of problems for himself and for his run for U.S. Senate with his recent comments about abortions tied to sexual assaults.

"I am very, very disappointed," Congressman McKinley said of Akin on Wednesday's MetroNews Talkline. "I've known him now for the past year and a half and that's not the way he comes across."

Congressman Akin, a candidate for U.S. Senate in Missouri, has lost a lot of support from his fellow Republicans since he said the following when asked about abortions for pregnant rape victims:

"It seems to me first of all, from what I understand from doctors, that's really rare. If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.
