It was not “politically incorrect” - it was outrageous and nonsensical. This is not defensible and the Dems can use it not only to define the campaign in Missouri, but nationwide. He threw himself under the bus. No one forced him to say - the words are not being twisted. He may regret having said it, and that may be sincere, but it doesn’t change the irreversible political consequences of what has happened.

Which part, exactly? Is it the "legitimate rape" part? If it is, let me be the first to inform you that there are a whole lot of BS rape accusations out there. There are plenty of women who lie about rape - whether because they got caught cheating, or they are trying to blackmail, or whatever twisted reason they have. A woman who consents to have sex with a man, then decides the next day that she regrets it and charges him with rape, is not a victim of "legitimate rape". If you are going to argue that no false rape claims ever occur because women never lie about rape, then you are just a slave to political correctness. period.

Maybe it's the "women are less likely to get pregnant via legitimate rape" thing, eh? Yet, I've seen sprinkled throughout all of these threads offerings of evidence to suggest that there may be truth to that claim.

In either case, explain to me which part of Akin's statement was "nonsensical".
