Thread:Comments:Pressure mounts on US Senate candidate Todd Akin to withdraw after controversial rape comments/missing the point

you people are missing the point..."legitamate rape?" explain this to me...I'm paraphrasing...a woman's body has a way to stop this...what? the attack? the physical and emotional scarring? the birth of (unfortunatly) of an unwanted baby? the stress of feeling unwanted? An abortion?? What!?!? What is illegitamate rape? All the knuckle draggers, please step forward. I won't even try to explain what a woman's body works but one thing is for sure...the posibility always exist that when two "consesual" adults have sex (the word is consesual) that the posibility Always exist that either you produce life or any other unforetold circumstances (STDs for example). Let's be real...a nonthinking, noncaring, idioitic of a rapist (male or female) does not think about protected sex at the last minute, so what happens? Legitamate rape is a null phrase that carries a connotation of nonconsequence which also carries a connotation of irresponsibility and stupidity,
