Same as any WOMAN knows about war.

Men get raped. Check out any prison with men in it.

There are about 2 pregnancies for every 1000 cases of forcible rape,not statutory rape.

This is mostly a red herring be the LEFT.

How many of those used the "morning after" pill or equivalent to "prevent pregnancy?"

The moron is more or less accurate that pregnancy is uncommon among rape victims, but even a moron should know that discussion of the issue is walking through a verbal minefield.

Well, he just stepped on one of the mines.

Golly!

Two cases per 1000 individual incidences of intercourse. 1 in 500.

Now, if you are not an idiot (the doctor here clearly is) then you put that together with 1000 individual incidences of intercourse which are not rape to get a statistic which actually would mean something. This would be called comparing the data to a control group.

You can’t do that, however, if you have manipulating the statistics as a goal.

If he had said stastically rape results in very few pregnancies it would have been factually true. Maybe that is what he meant to say.

He needs to spin this as hard as he can. An unfortunate choice of words. The voters of Missouri will have to decide if he is an idiot or not.

This is like walking the bases loaded with no one out in a one run game and Prince Fielder coming up. Talk about giving one away.
