He implied that if a woman’s body did not “shut that down” that she wasn’t legitimately raped.

No he didn't. Not in the slightest. You appear to have poor listening skills.

If you read the article he based his opinion on, his argument was directly parallel with it. The author says that if a woman is forcibly raped, as opposed to statutory, that pregnancy is a rare result due to stress and other factors. There is absolutely no attempt to smear anyone in the rare cases where it does happen. Being "rare" isn't a smear or an insult, it's just a statistical reality.

Have you ever heard the expression "if you're explaining, you're losing."

Moderates and independents will hear "legitimate rape" and "women's bodies have a way to shut that down", that is going to stick with them.

Okay, now you have 10 seconds to counter that with something that's easily understandable and explains the previous position....GO!

First of all, what he said was pure unadulterated bunk.

Secondly, what he said casts doubt on the legitimacy of the supposedly “rare” cases where a woman’s body doesn’t “shut that down”.

It was absurd and creepy and wrong.
