The worst part was when he went into the whole “a woman’s body has a way to shutdown the whole process....”
Its nonsense. He made himself look bad today, and its one of those comments that there is coming back from. His election chances at this point are non-existent. From what I understand, if he steps down before the 22nd, someone else can take his place, whatever that happens to require, it needs to be done, and soon.
I have never read any studies about humans, but I have read some studies with rats that indicate that there is a grain of truth to what he says. But even if it were a proven fact (and it may be) that a woman is less likely to get pregnant from rape, less likely is not the same as impossible.
Regardless, his remark was both stupid and insensitive. We need more intelligent candidates on our side.
It is heartening to me that so many posters here are unwilling to tolerate his views. It’s nice to see that we have integrity and not the “win at any cost” attitude of the left.
Please, please, please, let us stop putting up candidates like this. (Being pro-life is fine; being insensitive and stupid is not.)
He needs to step down. Any chance of that happening?
