wow i looked it up, there are actually a whole bunch o fukk bois on that committee.
Rep. Todd Akin (R-Mo.)
Currently challenging incumbent Democrat Claire McCaskill for her U.S. Senate seat, Akin sparked outrage this past August when he stated that women who are victims of what he called "legitimate rape" rarely get pregnant. "If it's legitimate rape," he said in an interview with a St. Louis television station, "the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down." In fact, there is no scientific evidence to support the claim that women are less likely to get pregnant from rape than from consensual sex. A Presbyterian, Akin holds a bachelor's in engineering from the Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Massachusetts and a master of divinity from Covenant Theological Seminary, a Presbyterian institution in St. Louis.
Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-Calif.)
Another climate contrarian on the House Science Committee, Rohrabacher has made a number of scientifically questionable statements, including the idea that an earlier period of global warming may have been caused by "dinosaur flatulence." Last year, after coming under fire for seeming to suggest that if global warming is real it could be addressed by cutting down trees (when in fact forests reduce global warming by absorbing atmospheric carbon), he issued a statement saying, "I do not believe that CO2 is a cause of global warming." That belief is at odds with most scientists, who agree that carbon dioxide is one of the primary greenhouse gases that trap heat in earth's atmosphere. Rohrabacher holds a bachelor's in history from California State University, Long Beach and a master's in American Studies from the University of Southern California. He's a Baptist.
