Thank you for your comment.

You and I don’t agree about abortion in the case of rape (I feel it just adds another victim) but I agree with you that what he said was repugnant and offensive.

What about women who become pregnant after a rape who decide not to abort and to carry the child to term? His comment is insulting these woman as well ... implying that they were not “legitimately raped” because their bodies did not “shut that down”.

That was one of the most terrible parts, he basically engaged at friendly fire at any woman who claimed to have been raped and carried the pregnancy to full term.

There's all sorts of amazing pro-life women that amidst unspeakable tragedy, found the strength to carry on, to value their child's life and this idiot basically spat on them by essentially calling them liars since they "couldn't" have actually gotten pregnant through rape.

I think we can agree he's a self-important, judgmental, and insensitive ignoramus. I've heard he also thinks his campaign is "providential." Puh-leeze, Todd!

He implied NO SUCH THING. Gold is rare, but it does occur. He said those events are rare, but that they do occur. Rarity does NOT imply that something doesn't occur.
