Jefferson City, Missouri: Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney called on a Republican congressman to abandon his US Senate bid in the Midwest state of Missouri after his comments about rape undermined the party\'s bid to gain control of Congress of in November. Rep Todd Akin did not heed Romney\'s call however, as he continued to defy top Republicans on Tuesday to forge ahead with his besieged Senate campaign. Akin declared that his party\'s leaders were overreacting by abandoning him because of comments that women\'s bodies can prevent pregnancies in cases of legitimate rape. Akin was once seen as a strong challenger to incumbent Democrat Claire McCaskill in Missouri, a pivotal target for Republicans as they attempt win control of the Senate. Republicans already control the House of Representatives. Akin\'s bid now faces tall obstacles: a lack of money, a lack of party support and no assurance that his apologies would be enough to heal a self-inflicted political wound. But Akin refused to back down, ignoring a key deadline Tuesday to withdraw from the ballot.
