just because he didn’t say ‘never get pregnant’ does not make his statement any less offensive or stupid.
If you listen to his whole statement, you will hear a couple of things:
1) The "legitimate" rape comment was a preface to his main point . I believe he is referring to what I describe in my #71 post above, which he said he had heard from a few doctors.
2) His main point is that the baby should not have to suffer and die for the sin of another. That, by the way, is a plank in the Republican party platform and has been for years. Now, you may believe that the murder of an innocent child is justified in the case of rape but there are a lot of people who are far from stupid who believe such murder is extremely offensive.
