masterrig 1 #4 August 19, 2012 There you have it folks! A good example of what is running this country. If, he is that 'mis-informed' about rape, just think of what else he 'mis-informed' about. Good Lord!! Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BIGUN 1,060 #5 August 19, 2012 So, if "Pregnancy from rape is rare," and the Journal of Os & G's states there's about 32,101 pregnancies per annum... And, we know that only about 10% of rape victims report the crime.... Sheesh.Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

jakee 1,257 #8 August 19, 2012 QuoteThe mind boggles. http://2012.talkingpointsmemo.com/2012/08/todd-akin-legitimate-rape.php?ref=fpa Fucking awesome. Intersetingly, in his apology statement he says that he 'mispoke' with no further details. Since he quite clearly said what he meant on the pregnancy issue and was just plain wrong, I'm quite curious as to what he thinks his mistatement was?Do you want to have an ideagasm?

RonD1120 58 #16 August 20, 2012 QuoteReminds me of the "forcible rape" vs. the "other" rape issue. Reminds me of my first professional interview post graduate school with the medical director of a county health department. When discussing this subject, his words were, "If rape is inevitable you may as well lay back and enjoy it."Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,126 #18 August 20, 2012 That same comment (among other gaffes, but that one was seared into the electorate's minds) probably lost Clayton Williams the governorship to Ann Richards in Texas in 1990. He was up by about 20 points, lost by 11. It's really not very funny. Wendy P.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
