What King said, “Apparently so does representative Stephen King (R) Iowa. ““Well I just haven’t heard of that being a circumstance that’s been brought to me in any personal way, and I’d be open to discussion about that subject matter.”
This seems like the media is twisting his words into something he didn’t say.
(AMES) – Rep. Steve King (R-Kiron) today issued the following statement in response to false allegations from liberal Web sites: “I am the grandfather of four granddaughters and one grandson. No one has a stronger pro-life record than I do. No one has a stronger record in Congress for punishing rapists than I do. “I believe sexual assault is a disgusting, violent crime and those who commit these terrible acts should be severely punished to the fullest extent of the law. “The liberal press and their allies have again twisted my words. I never said, nor do I believe, a woman, including minors, cannot get pregnant from rape, statutory rape or incest. Suggesting otherwise is ridiculous, shameful, disgusting and nothing but an attempt to falsely define who I am. “I have never heard of and categorically reject the so-called medical theory that launched this controversy. “The people who promote these vicious attacks are paid to create lies and to assassinate the character of elected officials.”
