There is no such term in English as “legitimate rape”.

Sure there is.

Legitimate Rape. See Juanita Broaddrick.

There was such a rush to hang Akin out to dry it seemed very odd to me. And then, when Romney came out and called for Akin to leave the Senate race, I knew something was fishy. Once again, it seems, there is cause to distrust the GOP as it imposes its elective will. I've more to learn before I choose sides, but for the moment I am pleased that at least one Senate Republican elected in 2012 will have the spine to stand against Romney. Unfortunately, we'll need that.

The “rush” is part of Mitt Romney’s strategy, so far as I’ve been able to determine.

If ANY SITUATION AT ALL gives him a chance to prove he really is not a conservative, but is a secret liberal, then he grabs it.

The most recent example is Chick-fil-A and the Boy Scout ruling happening at roughly the same time. Mitt saw fit to publicly distance himself from chicken and publicly reiterate his support for a gay-friendly Boy Scouts of America.

If the rebellion doesn’t hold him accountable, then there will currently be no one in America trying to keep Mitt’s feet to the conservative fire.

And here the CINO movement is busy attacking a 97.5% lifetime ACU senatorial candidate because of a single poorly expressed comment. The whole point, supposedly by the CINOs, is to GET such conservative senators in the Senate...especially the Senate.

But Gay Boy Scouts is the bomb-diggity with Romney. No firestorm of controversy there with these people.

I say “hypocrite” to the whole lot of them.

No, it's real conservatives who are trying to talk sense to the guy, and the reason for it is that he's delusional, and certain to make the situation only worse instead of better. And... if he's left on the ticket there's going to be a small problem with the scoreboard.

So, do you think their solution of running a write-in campaign is a winner?

Akin is a Christian conservative pro-lifer. He’s just the kind that cinos have been saying is what they want to hold Romney’s feet to the fire.

In their haste to injure their own candidate, rather than simply say “We think Rep Akin has misspoken and we ask him to rephrase or repudiate what he was trying to say.”, they have been the major force attacking him.

That was all they needed. Easy. There is such a thing as a “fake” rape, and there is such a thing as “other than violent” rape. Additionally, there is a significant percentage of women impregnated by rape, but there is validity to the notion that willing partners are more likely to see pregnancy result from their union.

This is not from me...this is from a physician supporter of Mitt Romney who has written on the subject.

I've got the book, but have not had a chance to read it yet.

I've read nearly all of Dietrich Bonhoeffer's books and consider him one of the giants of Christian thought.

You are very right that Bonhoeffer, most notably along with Catholic Bishop von Galen of Münster(he gave a series of sermons publicizing the Akton T4 euthanasia program), lead a dedicated resistance of Christians who understood that Nazism was pure evil no matter what supposed Christian "leaders" said.

If you're interested in winning the right thing to do is for this lunatic to get off the ticket. Yesterday would have been preferable but today would do just fine.

Going into all the minutiae about pregnancy rates and uh, "whether the woman really wanted sex or not" is a loser's argument that's going to get stuck far up inside the person making it. At the end game, with all due respect, the scoreboard will bear testimony to the stupidity and arrogance of it.

Do not post anything from Mother Jones again.

I didn't. If you will recall, the article comes from Renew America (which lists Free Republic as one of their partner sites), who in turn got it from off of the MMD Newswire service, which in turn listed National Review as one of their sources for the information therein.

If you don't like the article and want to ban it, by all means go right ahead, but don't shovel up some junk about my "posting from Mother Jones," when I clearly didn't.

I dunno. I’m thiniking Akin needs to go. Yes, I know he’s “on our side,” but if nothing else, he’s apparently too unwilling to think before he speaks to be worthy of a Senate seat. That’s a problem with our politicians in general - do we need to compound the error even further?

Keep digging...

So when the creepy Uncle brings a 14 year old girl to take care of the ‘situation’ it’s important to know it wasn’t really rape because there’s a baby... I mean a situation that shows she really wanted it.

Idiots.

Yes, he did.

He won it with a buttload of McCaskills money being spent on his behalf if what I've heard is correct, and legions of Democrat voters crossing over to prop him up instead of Steelman or whatsisname.

They know who they want to run against and they know why.

Did you happen to listen to the Hannity interview yesterday?

I grant you that Romney and Ryan would on occasion do something more conservative than Obamalini, but, at this point, it’s a difference that won’t make a difference.

Romney will cement in place the mainstreaming of the sodomite lifestyle, and he won’t do nearly what has to be done to avert financial disaster. There is much more that will be toxic about a Romney/Ryan administration. Still, I think he’ll win, and fifteen years from now he will probably wish he hadn’t.

Whatever they do in Missouri is up to them but I think making a national issue out of it is a loser.

As long as Akin is in the race, it is a national issue. The DNC/MSM political media complex can and will make it so.

Ugh. No, you are speaking out of ignorance. I suspect you haven’t see the actual interview:

http://fox2now.com/2012/08/19/the-jaco-report-august-19-2012/

(It’s the third video down the page.)

Here’s the transcript, first the question:

“What about in the case of rape? Should it (abortion) be legal or not?”

Here’s Akin’s reply:

“Well, you know, people always want to try to make that as one of those things, well, how do you slice this particularly tough ethical question. It seems to me, first of all, from what I understand from doctors, that’s really rare. If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down. But let’s assume that maybe that didn’t 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.”

What he said is 100% correct — some doctors have posited that the psychic trauma of rape inhibits the progress of pregnancy. This was taught in medical schools through the 1970s and later.

And notice his last sentence — the rapist should be punished, not the child.

Please, for the love of God and reputation of FR, make judgments based on the facts, not on the leftwing media narrative.

Your last sentence, by the way, is just hateful nastiness, worthy of DU, not of FR.

No one really knows. There never was an actual trial. They just proceeded to destroy the reputation of the DA and the supposed victim. [trial by TV publicity]
So Magnum stabbed her boyfriend? Let’s see if there will be a trial about this.??

Sometimes if you just want the truth you will get lambasted by both biased sides. I admit to being biased. I usually believe the [supposed] victim, especially if the defendant has money and can avoid a trial, or hire a better attorney.

I’m seriously considering joining my neighbor and sitting this one out because the GOP is too stupid to let it go.

I’ve already told my congressman that if he weighs in on it he can go without my vote.
