Quote of the Day

[Content Note: Rape apologia misogyny.]"In Missouri, Todd Akin…was requested with a local news source about rape and that he stated, 'Look, inside a legitimate rape situation'—and what he meant by legitimate rape only agreed to be look, someone know I had been raped: a scared-to-dying 15-year-old that becomes heavy-laden by her boyfriend after which needs to let her know parents, that's pretty tough and can on some occasion say, 'Hey, I had been raped.' That is what he meant as he stated legitimate rape versus non-legitimate rape. I do not find anything so horrible about this. However he continued and stated that in times of rape, of the legitimate rape, a ladies body has a method of shutting lower therefore the pregnancy wouldn't occur. He’s partially directly on that… I have shipped plenty of babies, and that i learn about this stuff. It is a fact. We tell infertile couples constantly which are getting trouble getting pregnant due to the lady not ovulation, 'Just relax. Drink a glass of vino. And do not be so tense and uptight because everything adrenaline may cause explore to ovulate.' So he was partly right wasn't he?"—Phil Gingrey, a Republican Congressman from Georgia. [Via Chloe.]Santorum. Akin. Walsh. Mourdock. Koster. And today Gingery. Exactly what a awesome club filled with awesome dudes!You realize, I have heard many people make use of the whole "a scared teenage girl will get pregnant and informs her parents it had been rape" chestnut, and that i just actually want to call major bullshit on that. I've known scared pregnant teenage women, buddies and family people, and none of them of these stated they were raped—because they wanted the fathers of the children to stay in their as well as their children's lives.I am not to imply it's rarely happened within the history around the globe, because Large PLANET, however the routine assertion that's a typical scenario just does not pass the smell test. No girl or lady who desires the participation of her child's father will say she was raped. And when she's saying she was raped, well, maybe that is because she was.
