Akin used an unfortunate turn of phrase: "legitimate". Unlike Whoopie Goldberg's "rape-rape", his implied that some rapes are not legitimate.

This instantly brings the Hell-hath-no-fury bunch down his throat, because it invalidates "feelings" by implying what few, especially leftists, want to admit:

The tiniest possibility that some of what was indeed reported as 'rape' might have been an instance of 'buyer's remorse, too much alcohol or other judgement impairing substance, or being caught by their spouse, just for a few instances which might become statistically confused or combined with statistics of the brutality of forcible rape--an event which is genuinely traumatic immediately and not just in hung-over or guiltily confronted retrospect.

Any way one considers it, the guy, if he didn't stop when she said 'Stop!" is wrong, the woman may or may not be a contributor to the situation, but the Baby had no say in the matter at all.

Of all, the most undeniably innocent is the child.

So, typical of Liberals who would keep a brutal rapist from death row, they single out the baby to die.

It isn't right, and no parsing of words can excuse the slaughter of innocents, ever.

Do these cases concern a woman who is a clear-eyed actor making an independent and rational decision, and later expressing regret over it?

How many of the women who find themselves in the situations described above are themselves survivors of abuse and incest?
