I’m trying to make sense of this post?....
Maybe I need more coffee....or a nap.
sperm meets viable egg, egg gets fertilized, girl gets pregnant. It’s that simple.
“The SPEECH POLICE are everywhere.. this is ridiculous!”
Totally agree with you on that.
Blame the media (and the large number of knee-jerk, soundbite-manipulated female voters who will react to this situation in their usual, predictable way).
There’s too much at stake this time.
The media’s vicious spin regarding this issue could cost us a critical senate seat (and thus, our last chance to ditch Obamacare).
What King said, “Apparently so does representative Stephen King (R) Iowa. ““Well I just haven’t heard of that being a circumstance that’s been brought to me in any personal way, and I’d be open to discussion about that subject matter.”
This seems like the media is twisting his words into something he didn’t say.
I’m starting to think that the only way to do any Dort of damage control on this thing is to start rolling out adverts showing Sheila Jackson Lee asking NASA if the Mars rover can see where Neil Armstrong planted the flag with a voiceover pointing out that the Dems have their fair share of ignorant jack@$$es too.
How did ““Well I just haven’t heard of that being a circumstance that’s been brought to me in any personal way, and I’d be open to discussion about that subject matter.”” become “I’ve never ‘heard of’ statutory rape victims becoming pregnant?”
“Doesn’t personally know”.
I like the way you think
(AMES) – Rep. Steve King (R-Kiron) today issued the following statement in response to false allegations from liberal Web sites: “I am the grandfather of four granddaughters and one grandson. No one has a stronger pro-life record than I do. No one has a stronger record in Congress for punishing rapists than I do. “I believe sexual assault is a disgusting, violent crime and those who commit these terrible acts should be severely punished to the fullest extent of the law. “The liberal press and their allies have again twisted my words. I never said, nor do I believe, a woman, including minors, cannot get pregnant from rape, statutory rape or incest. Suggesting otherwise is ridiculous, shameful, disgusting and nothing but an attempt to falsely define who I am. “I have never heard of and categorically reject the so-called medical theory that launched this controversy. “The people who promote these vicious attacks are paid to create lies and to assassinate the character of elected officials.”
Wow...they are acting so stupid!
I was a victim of statutory rape and that is how I have a daughter...I did not abort her because I knew that it was murder...even at 14. I love her very much...best thing I ever did...
He could also be saying that no one has personally contacted him about being denied medicaid funding.
Whenever a reporter asks Obama a question about the economy, he brings up Romney’s tax returns, or Bain Capital, or “legitimate rape.”
Whenever a reporter asks a Republican a question about rape, the Republican should immediately make an observation about the deficit, unemployment, Solyndra. Do. NOT. Rise. To. Take. The. Bait. NEVER.

Re-read the article and the headline and then tell me who the moron is here.
Rep. King said, "heard of", which is accurate, but the rest is fabricated.
see King’s commnets at #69 disavowing the article.
A quick search of his posts suggests that "naps" may well be one of those "Romney is just as bad as Obama" true believers.If that's correct then there's no reasoning with him.He'll remain in his little fantasy land at least until after the election...if not for the rest of his days.
Stuck on stupid. Geez.
Not quite. You forgot the step where birth control pills work: implantation. Since it's post-conception, as you described, there is considerable debate about BC pills.
I’m surprised at King. This is a big issue, because Planned Parenthood does not report the felony when the patient is underage and the biological father is over eighteen. That is statutory rape and the woman is pregnant, or she wouldn’t be at Planned Parenthood.
Sorry King made this mistake. He is usually so excellent on every issue.
