I still would like to hear him explain “legitimate rape”.
What rape is legit?
He did explain it dude. He said he meant "forcible." Same mistake Whoopi Goldberg made with "rape rape." They were trying to distinguish it from statutory rape. In the context of his remarks, this should be clear, because he was speaking of the physical results of a traumatic rape.
When I heard it the first time, and he said “legitimate rape” he seemed to be saying that some might falsely report a rape for purposes of getting an abortion.
Now that’s controversial itself, but different than the narrative we’re hearing.
So I think that “legitimate rape” was supposed to mean “someone who was really raped” as opposed to “someone who was NOT really raped”.
But what if a 17-year-old meets a 15 year-old at a party, and she says she’s 17, they have consensual sex, and then the kids gets convicted of statuatory rape?
Should the punishment be the same? How about abortion?
