I think what he might have meant to do is distinguish statutory rape and violent rape (which he called “legitimate” to distinguish it from statutory where there is consent).

That is my take, but when given the opportunity to explain it that way on Hannity, he just muddied the waters even more.

He believes abortion should be illegal in any and all circumstances, which is an honorable view shared by many conservatives. Why didn't he just say that and leave it there? Instead he started splitting hairs and making ignorant junk science claims.

I can’t believe he again blew it when Hannity gave him a chance to explain it. His thinking was just not clear. Is no one on his campaign able to prepare him?
