He misused ONE WORD, "legitimate."

He also said "the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.” The underlying implication being that pregnant rape victims are liars and not actual victims of rape.

That was possibly the worst thing he said.

“The female body has a way to just shut the whole thing down.”

Is this guy serious? Are we living in the 1500’s or are we living in 2012? When basic first-year college biology students know that a woman can be aroused and even have an orgasm while being raped, this guy comes out with idiot-speak from The Dark Ages.

This fits into every single stereotype the left love to throw out and as Ryan is out there doing a great job on talking about the economy and Medicare and why Obama shouldn’t be brought back, this clown allows the media to flip the script and focus on something completely superficial.

It was a horrible, horrible gaffe, I just sat and stared at the television without my mouth open after seeing it. I just don’t know, I felt like that photo of the Jaguars fan shrugging, not sure how to explain what he’s seen.

No such thing was implied at all. He only said it was a rare event, not that it was impossible. You sound like you're getting confused by the word "legitimate," which was an ambiguous word choice, but I never took it to mean that he was implying women were lying about being raped. That would be the spin liberals want to put on it though.
