I thought "surely this guys a knuckle dragger..." he has definately lost his mind with the Legitimate Rape claim lol...

well, those strange ideas grow out of Creationism.

More shame for the unwashed butthole of the country. What's worse is that I bet he still gets over 40% of the vote.

Abortion is a moral crime... But this guy's reasoning is bonkers.

And he sat on a committee for science, space and technology.

I think he's referring to the lubrication of the vagina during voluntary intercourse, which is absent in forced violation.  That lubrication lowers the acidity of the vulva which inhibits contraception.  So in a forced rape there is a worse chance for contraception than in a date rape where somebody is drunk but still aroused, or one of those "rapes" where "he lied to me and I fell for it, but now looking back I realize it was a rape".

It's funny how there's 'absolutely no scientific basis' for what he says but if you ask a doctor how to get someone pregnant they'll mention this sort of thing as a problem to overcome.

Of course it's not an issue once conception has occurred. [sp]

Ronald Reagan when he was governor of California agreed to legalize abortion in the cases of psychological disorder of the mother in the 1960s.  He was told there were less than 300 cases a year.  After the only legal way to have an abortion was to claim psychological distress, 8000 people claimed it.   Reagan called it the biggest mistake of his career.

Actually, when a woman agrees to go to bed with you, and then decides she isn't the sort of person who would agree to have sex with you, but the sex happened, so it must have been rape...that's not rape at all.

Not that it stops them from calling it rape.

"B) The thing is that those reasons do have an effect but don't stop pregnancies."

Actually fertility doctors wouldn't agree with that.  Now, nobody says it works as sure like a condom. Except maybe this guy in the Senate race.

Justinian on my marriage night I had enough sex to run her out of juice. I was not running raw.

There is a natural initialmoistness as well I suspect in any vagina due to the way it is made.

However there is a lower level chance of pregnancy, by far, statistically in violent rape victims.

And then there is the sex where a girl wanted it but not the cum from the man (aka he did not pull out). Now she needs an alibi in her mind since she is worried she could get pregnant. Suddenly it is rape.

And those prostitutes (that people use)? One day she will say "I need $500 more or I will tell the police you raped me".

After reading the first couple posts, I just want to preemptively warn everyone to be on their best behavior here... both because I can see this getting derailed easily, and because I'd rather not have to actually read this thread.

Thank you!

Flint,

1. It's conceivable that a vagina is not completely dry. Yet without sufficient lubrication, a woman will be hurt by it. And without any lubrication, it would be difficult to penetrate her.

2. It's true that some women lie about being raped to protect their reputations. But women will lubricate even when they are actually raped. Whereas men's sexual physiology is usually telling of his desire, that is not so in women. The reason is partly that without lubrication, forceful penetration can cause such physical trauma to the vagina that she becomes infertile. So, in part, that is why women evolved to lubricate in response to hints of sex in their environment.

3. Since a woman can only become pregnant during ovulation, of course it's unlikely that a woman will become pregnant from any one episode.

4. In response to your confused understanding of US prostitution, the industry regulates itself very well due to the efficient flow of information that creates a powerful disincentive for both providers and customers to commit fraud.

Yell,

1. No it happens a fair amount of the time.
2. There's a difference between lubrication that is sufficient, insufficient, and none.

This is absolutely hilarious.

Bunch of virgins talking about women's sex organ functions. Lulz.

Lets do be clear on one thing, rape is rape but humans lie. This doesn't make some rape of, cuae you know she was asking for it. Also there is no actual bodily function to stop pregancies, wanted or not, there is just conditions that can help or hinder pregancies.

Discussion about vaginas and how the female body works is hilarious to read from some of you, but trying to defend the idiot guy is a bit far-fetched.

Also Flint, do you want to go on the record with that statement? It sounded almost like trying to support Mr idiotball...
