Representative Todd Akin of Missouri, a resolute abortion opponent, said of the possibility that pregnancy will result from a rape, “If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.” Following that logic, legitimate murders (where the victim doesn’t want to die) shouldn’t result in death.
How would Akin describe the way Mary got pregnant?
He has got to be kidding. So if his daughter were forcibly raped and a pregnancy resulted, he’d assume she secretly wanted it, because if she didn’t then she wouldn’t have gotten pregnant?
