Okay, so if an abortion can be considered in the case of, say, tubal pregnancy or something like that, what about in the case of rape? Should it be legal or not?
Rep. Todd Akin (R-Mo.):
Well, you know, uh, people always want to try to make that as one of those things, Well, how do you how do you slice this particularly tough sort of ethical question.
It seems to me, first of all, from what I understand from doctors, thats really rare. If its a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.
But lets assume that maybe that didnt work or something. You know, I think there should be some punishment but the punishment ought to be on the rapist and not attacking the child.
It's about after the woman learns she's pregnant.
If I'm dumb you're intentionally obtuse!
You’re still wrong, obviously you didn’t listen to Akin’s interview with Hannity yesterday.
His comment had nothing to do with what happens AFTER a woman gets pregnant, he was trying to repeat the tired old disproven Mecklenburg line about women not being able to become pregnant as the result of a rape but he even failed at that and made it sound worse.
