"Rape Victims don't get Pregnant" states Republican.

Republican Todd Akin (R-Mo.) justified his extreme opposition to abortion by claiming that victims of "legitimate rape" rarely get pregnant.
In an interview with KTVI-TV on Sunday, the GOP Senate nominee was asked if he supported abortion in the case of rape.
"From what I understand from doctors, that's really rare," said Akin said of pregnancy caused by rape. "If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.

Legitimate rape?
How can this clown seriously be running forSenate?

shut that whole thing down.

fucking hell

What the fuck is legitimate rape for fuck's sake?!

Also, bad fucking science much? Does he think sperm come with a label on them or something 'I am from a legitimate rape, please shut me down. Ta.'

I despair, I utterly despair.

urgh what a disgusting man.

Twunt

I barely have words. Ignorant. Misogynist. Wanker. How vile and hateful is that.

Jesus Christ. Starting to think we should be running underground escape routes for women in the States.

What a totally ignorant arse!! Americans never fail to amaze me with their levels of ignorance

urgh, I hope he gets trapped in a house fire.

The key part of the sentence...

e2a: in that, he's misunderstood, if that wasn't clear

Or that he...made it up!!!! and relied on a veneer of informed opinion to make it sound better.

what the fuck is a 'legitimate' rape ?

I wonder who the doctors are? He should improve his insurance.

idiot - what more can you say - probably thinks there are Good rapes and bad rapes too

Doctors taking their gynaecological knowledge from the 17th century, when it was believed that unless a woman orgasmed, she couldn't get pregnant?

Legitimate rape - you know rape that is justified or made legal.

Fucktard.

That's a Tussauds' waxwork dummy isn't it?

No, I think you'll find that most of the deaths from shooting are where the shootee wanted to be shot and a were quite happy with the outcome.

Granted they often had to make their minds up quite quickly

As opposed to an "alleged" or "made-up" rape.

I'm presuming "legitimate" rape is rape that actually happened, rather than 'made-up' rape or rape within a marriage, which, according to some, is just about the same thing (can't be raped in a marriage, marital rights, blah blah blah).

e2a: yeah, what Crispy said in a much better and more concise way

In cases of legitimate stabbing the skin from the knife wound heals up instantly.

"As a state legislator, Akin voted in 1991 for an anti-marital-rape law, but only after questioning whether it might be misused “in a real messy divorce as a tool and a legal weapon to beat up on the husband,” according to a May 1 article that year in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch." (link)

+1 points to him for voting in favour
-1,000,000 points for him managing to still be a bell-end at the same time.

unfortunately not surprised by this sort of moronic bullshit coming from a politician

Sure you do.. you support the death penalty don't you??

Cunt.

in case of legitimate non-witch the body sinks to the bottom

No.

A waxwork dummy would have more sense...

But that would be very helpful for a congressman who was prone to talking out of his arse.

It could be a self fulfilling prophecy. Get rid of legal abortion and for those who get pregnant after a rape it will be a back street job leading to yet more women left unable to conceive than happens with legal abortions.
