what’s the difference between legitimate rape, and illegitimate rape?

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 suppose it IS a bit like saying a woman can’t be raped because a woman can move it around.
