Maybe so. But so far, no one has provided an answer as to what he should have said when asked a very direct question about abortion in cases of rape. If no one has a better way of handling the question, it's rather pointless to criticize him.
A better way? As opposed to what, basically stating that any woman who claims she was “legitimately raped” and then ends up pregnant was actually a lying, whore?
He could have said that “personally, I support life and feel that we should punish the rapist and not the baby” and left it at that.
When that moron started talking about “women’s bodies shutting down during rape”, that went into the realm of pure idiocy.
