“He innocently read those articles and believed them to be accurate. That’s it.”
Bull! Those are his core beliefs, and he hunted until he found evidence to support it.
And as far as reading something into what he said, explain to me “legitimate rape”. Or if you are forcibly raped, your body will shut down and prevent impregnation.
It's all explained in this article from 1999 which is the one he probably got his information from. No one had to "hunt" for information like this. The writer of the article is a prominent pro-life doctor who endorsed Mitt Romney in 2007. The idea that a pregnancy from rape being rare has something to do with a "core belief" makes no sense to me. It's a tangential discussion that makes no difference on what his votes are going to be in any way.
