He is a very nice guy, and his politics are correct.
But, to say that legitimate rape doesn’t result in pregnancy is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.
He messed up...BIG time. The fact that he doesn’t “get” that an apology doesn’t help tells me that, either, he’s in it for himself, or he’s clueless.
BTW, what’s the difference between legitimate rape, and illegitimate rape?
Not interested in playing.
This is my assumption:
Rape that's illegitimate: Sex between a couple that may be legally considered to be rape (ie: boyfriend/girlfriend ages 17 and 19 - depending on the state)
Legitimate rape: forced sex
That's my take and what I think he meant. But that's just my own assumption. I have not heard the man's explanation.
What he said about pregnancies cannot happen as a result of rape was way over the top.
He needs to go. It may very well be a choice of him or Romney in that state which means it's Akin or Obama.
I dont buy this. He misspoke. I am tired of losing good people to misspeaking.
Barney Frank was a member of the house who had homosexual prostitutes using goverment and private space and he just ignored the calls for removal.
This man OTOH made a statement that if not widely accepted in the fundementalist community is stated on occasion. This is no big deal and it is time that we stop getting Alanskied by every misspoken workd. Your reaction is right out of the textbook of Rules for Radicals.
You are being played.
rape.
