"Legitimate" Rape?

[LazyGun]

Yet more evidence that belief in a fundamentalist worldview turns your brain to mush. In an effort to justify a religiously-inspired belief in the evils of abortion, this looneytunes is left with a severely dented reputation.

This comment tells us several things;
1. That the fundamentalist christian right in the USA are barking.
2. That all Senators and Congressional Representatives are urgently in need of some remedial scientific and medical education - they shouldn't just rely on comments posted in religious journals as evidence of their statement.
3. It shows how slippery and grasping they are - Even under criticism from his own supporters, the Tea Party and the religious right, he still plans to run for the Senate Seat. Even his apology is redolent with the smell of ordure - he still wants to lobby for a total ban on abortion, regardless of circumstance.

I loved this article in the Grauniad, from which i offer the following quote...

" Apparently, in conservative imagination, the interior of the vagina is much like a fleshy soda machine with a series of sacks filled with different kinds of liquids that dispense when the proper button is pushed. Press the "rape" button, and out comes the spermicide. Press the "she was asking for it" button and a welcome mat-style secretion comes out. Presumably pressing the "Jesus" button causes a secretion that enters a woman's bloodstream and teaches modesty and submission to her husband's will. The vagina really is a cave of wonders!"
