Legitimate Rape?
“First of all, from what I understand from doctors [pregnancy from rape] is really rare,” Akin, the Republican Senate nominee in Missouri, said. ”If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.”
-Rep. Todd Akin
Ummm…yeah. I don’t even know how to respond to this because this is overflowing with so much nonsense from so many angles. Of course, Akin has issued a faux-pology for his dump on science and morality, but the stench has already reached the media.
I consider this an open forum on the matter. Please chime in on your thoughts regarding Akin’s statements regarding rape and pregnancy.
Sooooo….let me get this straight. A white, rich, male, Christian Republican is saying hateful things about women and sexual violence?
Sounds pretty normal to me, Brothawolf.
I know it’s typical, but it’s none the less insane.
… Just… just wow. I’ve heard a lot of ridiculous things about rape coming from men like him (and received some harassment because of my own… experience, so to speak), but I think we just hit the fucking apex of idiocy. What sort of fucking pseudo-science bullshit is this? Is this considered a legitimate to pro-lifers?
… I think I’m going to go lie down. I’ve had my fill of shitheads today.
Does this idiot need to go take a biology course are something. What a idiot!!! I just don’t know how to respond to that craziness.
I’m still at a loss for words.
*or*
What the hell is a legitimate rape? He needs to go take a anatomy and physiology course. He is truly an idiot.
I don’t know; a part me thinks that he may be referring to women who fantasize about rape..there are women like this.
It’s frightening, but I heard of it.
Unfortunately, it’s true. I’ve once ran across a website catering to the desires of people of rape fantasy fans. Ugh! It ‘s amazing that some women can fantasize something as sick and tragic as rape.
It’s hard to fathom such a thing, but then again there are more disgusting fetishes.
I don’t know what to say about this guy. Makes you wonder how he would react if this happened to one of his kin?He must not have no conscience to make a sick suggestion like that.
Either that or no brains.
4 words…Jackass o’ the week! (lol)
There’s another one who said that he didn’t think women could get pregnant through rape. Ummm…what?!?
Who needs Democrats when the Rupugnaicans are determined to self destruct on their own?!
It’s only a matter of time.
I can’t believe I’m the first to post this, but if its a legitimate thought, the republican brain has a way to shut the whole thing down.
Yep. They seem to operate more on faith than logic.
