HEADLINE: Todd Akin On Abortion: 'Legitimate Rape' Victims Have 'Ways To Try To Shut That Whole Thing Down'

[EddieDingo]

 

We've all read this (click) by now.

If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.

This is a quote from Representative Todd Akin (MO).

 

Why didn't they teach me this in sex education?

 

Rep Akin has come out and said he misspoke (click) , but in my opinion, ignorance may be visible in how you speak, but it is rooted in how you think. 

 

Do you think the apology is acceptable?

I do not think he will be on my ballot in November.

I saw a video clip of his "apology". It didn't look even remotely sincere. No , it's not acceptable. He's just another Conservative idiot who believes that crap.

He pushed the "send" button......and that can't be undone.

Not accectable. No doubt it was a forcible apology. Someone held a knife to his throat and forced him down.

[Aggie]

When is rape legitimate?

[Goldilocks46]

Never.
