In Missouri Senate race, new Akin ad features rape survivor
KANSAS CITY, Missouri (Reuters) - Todd Akin, the Republican candidate in the closely watched U.S. Senate race in Missouri, released a new advertisement on Thursday featuring a woman who says she was raped and had an abortion but supports Akin's anti-abortion stand.
The TV commercial comes in the closing days of a campaign that has drawn national attention because of Akin's remark in August that women's bodies could ward off pregnancy in cases of "legitimate rape."
Akin, a six-term U.S. congressman from the St. Louis area, was heavily criticized by Democrats and lost support from some leading Republicans because of his remark.
A poll by Mason-Dixon Polling & Research released five days ago showed Akin trailing incumbent Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill by just 2 percentage points. He also has regained some of his Republican backing as the party tries to wrest control of the U.S. Senate from the Democrats in Tuesday's election.
The new ad features a woman named Kelly who says she is a full-time student and plans to vote for Akin, who opposes abortion even in cases of rape.
"I'm a woman who's had an abortion. I've been raped in the past," the woman says. "The reason I'm voting for Todd and that I'm so proud of him is because he defends the unborn."
The woman does not say whether she aborted a pregnancy caused by rape. A spokesman for the Akin campaign did not return a telephone call seeking clarification.
McCaskill, who supports abortion rights, has made an issue of Akin's "legitimate rape" comment in some of her commercials.
On Thursday, she released an ad reminding voters that Republican presidential challenger Mitt Romney and some former Republican senators from Missouri denounced Akin's rape comments.

Astronauts take spacewalk to find ammonia leak
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) ? Two spacewalking astronauts worked on a leaky radiator system outside the International Space Station on Thursday, just hours after barely dodging a menacing piece of orbiting junk.
NASA ordered the space station to change position Wednesday evening to avoid a fragment from a communication satellite that was destroyed in a high-speed collision three years ago.
Thrusters on a docked Russian supply ship were fired to move the orbiting lab out of harm's way. But a computer error caused the thrusters to malfunction and the space station did not reach the desired altitude. NASA officials said the space station and its six residents were safe despite their lower-than-intended orbit.
Space station commander Sunita Williams and Japanese astronaut Akihiko Hoshide successfully rerouted ammonia coolant lines and bypassed a radiator believed to be leaking. They isolated the suspect radiator to help flight controllers determine in the coming days whether that, indeed, is the source of the ammonia seepage.
"We've got smiles all around," Mission Control radioed.
Engineers theorize that bits of space junk may have penetrated the radiator or part of its system. Another possibility is that the 12-year-old equipment simply cracked.
The radiators are needed to dissipate heat generated by electronic equipment aboard the space station. Toxic ammonia is used as the coolant, and the spacewalkers took care to avoid contamination. One or two frozen flakes of ammonia harmlessly struck Hoshide's helmet.
Thursday's spacewalk provided some deja vu for Williams. In 2007, she retracted the spare radiator being brought into service Thursday.
"Nice to see it deployed again," she said.
A small leak was detected in this area in 2007. Spacewalking astronauts added extra ammonia last year to shore up the system, but this past summer, the leakage increased fourfold. At that rate, the affected power channel could be offline by the end of the year.
That's why Thursday's spacewalk was ordered up, even though it comes just 2? weeks before the departure of Williams and Hoshide. The two are scheduled to return to Earth on Nov. 19, after a four-month mission.
Within 5? hours of going out, Williams and Hoshide had accomplished the bulk of their work. Williams asked how the four guys inside were doing. Busy, but still able to catch some of the spacewalking action, replied U.S. astronaut Kevin Ford.
"We'll have tea on for you," Ford promised.
The spacewalk lasted 6? hours and bumped Williams into the No. 5 position of most experienced spacewalkers. She has spent 50 hours and 40 minutes out in the vacuum of space over seven spacewalks, the most by a woman.

Ryans take their 3 children out for Halloween
JANESVILLE, Wis. (AP) ? Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan is taking his three children trick or treating in their Wisconsin hometown of Janesville.
Ryan and his wife, Janna, took the threesome around their neighborhood Wednesday evening. Ryan says he used to go trick or treating on the same streets.
Ten-year-old daughter Liza is dressed as pop star Katy Perry, an Obama supporter. His sons, 7-year-old Sam and 9-year-old Charlie, are dressed as "spooky goblins."
Ryan spent the day campaigning in Wisconsin. When a reporter asked him about polls as he was preparing for the trick-or-treating, Ryan said he wasn't taking questions about the race while spending time with his family.
Ryan wore a red University of Wisconsin jacket and hat. Mrs. Ryan wore a witch's hat and veil.
