Wait.... What? Akin Corrects Statement, Says “Rape Is Never Legitimate”


http://fox4kc.com/2012/08/20/akin-corrects-statement-says-rape-is-never-legitimate/

“Likewise, I care deeply for the victims of people who have been raped. They’re equally vulnerable and a rape is equally tragic. I made that statement in error. Let me be clear. Rape is never legitimate. It’s an evil act committed by violent predators,” Akin told Huckabee. “I used the wrong words int he wrong way. What I said was ill-conceived and it was wrong and for that I apologize.”


Does he actually understand how to speak English?

because you're about to be raped hard by your own party, who knew exactly what you were about. You just screwed up and said it out loud. And for that you will be punished, my good man. There's a line of GOPers just waiting to defile you for a few moments of positive airtime.

which is the idea that god put a special trap door into women that means it is OK to rape them because they have an automatic contraception mechanism if they know they are being raped.

And I guess what follows is that if a woman is raped and she ends up pregnant from the act, then well, you know, she probably secretly enjoyed it.
