He also said "the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.” The underlying implication being that pregnant rape victims are liars and not actual victims of rape.

No such thing was implied at all. He only said it was a rare event, not that it was impossible. You sound like you're getting confused by the word "legitimate," which was an ambiguous word choice, but I never took it to mean that he was implying women were lying about being raped. That would be the spin liberals want to put on it though.

No, not confused by the word legitimate. If a "real" (i.e. legitimate) rape occurred, the "female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down" (i.e., not become pregnant at all, of if so, then miscarry).

Sorry, but the implication is there, intended or not.
