According to Akin, who supposes that a magical vaginal secret prevents fertilization if the rape is legitimate.
It's un-fucking-believable.

"Legitimate rape" - when a black guy drags you in an alley, beats you bloody and forces intercourse.
this is as opposed to...
"Rape claim" - when a woman regrets having been a slut.
