There's little other interpretation possible than that he has
less knowledge of biology than most 5th graders. The
statement that a woman's body will prevent conception in case
of a legitimate rape (I assume he meant an actual rape,
without consent) is false.

Where did he get the crazy idea that
a rape victim can somehow "reject" an
impregnation caused by the rape? This
guy sounds waaay off the deep end.
His choice of words was bad, but the
scary part is his apparently medieval
world view.

My thoughts were aimed at the word 'legitimate' not the 'body can reject'. It
seemed to me that the main complaint was stated by Obama:
In an
unplanned appearance, President Barack Obama used his first news conference in
months to pounce on Akin’s remarks.
“Rape is rape, and the idea that we
should be parsing and qualifying and slicing what types of rape we are talking
about doesn’t make sense to the American people and certainly doesn’t make
sense to me,” Obama said. “So what I think these comments do underscore is why
we shouldn’t have a bunch of politicians, a majority of whom are men, making
health-care decisions on behalf of women.”,
I agree that the 'body
can reject' part is just due to plain ignorance of the female physyology.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
