Thank you.
That breaks it down why his comment was so bad.

What makes it even worse is that it was totally and absolutely unneccesary to make such a comment. It served NO PURPOSE, doesn’t help the pro-Life cause, instead it hurts the cause.

Those who are pro-Life are hurting the cause by supporting this man. Yes, I know he recanted about biology claim as well. But the damage is done and as a very pro-Life person I wasn’t convinced. Seemed like he was just saving his skin.

At best, he comes across as a buffoon with a big mouth. How many more of those do we need in Congress.

At worst, he comes across as a witch hunter ... if the woman is pregnant, then she must not have been “legitimately” raped.

I doubt he meant any such thing

And BTW I have heard that statement about getting pregnant from rape being very rare for the reason he stated used in the past by ProLifers
Evidently he was told that as a medical fact by someone he believed
I doubt he made it up on the spot

Since from what I read he is very much in touch with the PROLIFE movement. I would assume that is where he got the view

He should have made sure it was a medical fact but like I said he was probably given that info by someone he trusted

I would like to hear him state WHY he thought it to be true
