Get real. The guy doesn’t have a point.

Pregnancy is rare in cases of rape because DOCTORS handle the issue at the hospital if the woman comes in right after the rape by administering the morning-after pill, not because the body shuts down.

The pro-life movement is never going to win the argument in cases of rape with the American public, and this idiot set us back many years in our better arguments for banning abortions EXCEPT in cases of rape or incest

Yes, he does have a point. He made a damaging statement in two parts: talking about "legitimate rape" which would infuriate the MSM and the left in general, and talking about the idiotic notion that the body is less susceptible to pregnancy after a rape.

The first part is a valid point, and the second part is nonsense.

Pregnancy in situations of severe stress is rare, period.

Have you never known anyone who was trying to get pregnant where the doctor could find nothing wrong and simply advised her to relax and not be so stressed, and the pregnancy would happen? Do you believe all the doctors who offer such advice are guilty of malpractice?
