It’s not that his comments were stupid or idiotic, it’s that he sounds like a crackpot. Believing that a woman’s body shuts down the ability to get pregnant as a result of a forcible rape is simply preposterous.
A comparable situation would be if a left-wing House member from an ultra-left wing district won a state-wide Democratic primary to become the Senate nominee, say Keith Ellison or Andre Carson. And this person was quoted as saying that 911 was a plot by Israeli intelligence and George Bush, and that the “hijackers” were really deep-cover Mossad agents.
The Democrats, who excuse a lot in their nominees, would demand that this person step down because he sounded like a crackpot.
Sometimes you can be pro-life and conservative and a crackpot.
