is this a piece of ridiculousness that is actually a prevalent argument against abortion... i don't want to like step on any toes or w/e but if this is a thing i'm going to be very disappointed
Nah, I'm of the opinion that a lot of the prevalent arguments against abortion are pretty dumb. However, that little nugget of ridiculousness comes from former US representative
Todd Akin. I think he even lost support within groups of fundamentalist voters since there's very few people who can overlook a comment
that stupid.
Even worse is that he's remarked on that backlash as being the
willful misinterpretation of what he said here:
“If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down,”
on the part of his critics. I only have to give him credit that it takes balls to say something that stupid and then pin it on everyone else.
