My contention was with what you said he should apologize about.
...I was mistaken about the fact of female anatomy.
So if you agree with me, and him by extension, then why should he apologize in the manner you stated?
What he said was ham handed and strangely worded. Legitimate rape sounds like he is saying that some rapes are legitimate and others are illegitimate.
Had he simply stated that : “These are the ‘Hard Cases’ that the pro-abortion movement loves to bring up. Yet,the fact is that in cases of forcible rape, pregnancy is extremely rare. Particularly if the rape is reported and the victim receives treatment at the hospital in a timely fashion. Still, it does occur. In these cases the woman should be treated with love and respect and should be aided in every way possible to bring the child to term and allow for the child to be adopted if that is what she chooses to do.
Regardless, i do not believe that a child should pay with the death penalty for the crimes of it's biological father”
This whole sordid mess was only exacerbated by the stupid over reaction by so many Republicans.
