OP
If there is a state of "foreceable rape" logic would indicate there is an opposite nonforceable rape

I think Romney paid-off Aiken to say this crap to distract from tax return issues.

This would be a great question for Paul Ryan in say the Vice Presidential debate. If Ryan manages to come out of his lair long enough for a M$M interview odds are "forceable rape" questions will not be asked. No matter Paul Ryan's answer or definition his term "forceable rape" the anti state "non forceable rape =non sense". Thanks to Todd Akin "legitimate rape" is forever in the trash except for the hard core nutjobs, "forceable rape" needs to join it.

He won't answer it directly of course. But it will be fun to watch him squirm.
