"it's difficult to impregnate by raping" - how exactly does he know this?

[ZRT2209]

Because all reports and scientific studies say otherwise, so I'm just wondering why a man would come to this conclusion against all evidence to the contrary. Certainly he would not be purporting to speak from first-hand experience...

[sharp_stick]

1. Because his church told him so

these assholes listen to nobody except Pastor Bob at the nearest megachurch full of assholes.

[hobbit709]

3. Is that the First Church of Stupidity? Or the Church of Divine Ignorance?

[Aerows]

9. Dickotomy of Cock

the Savior.

2. Franks (R-AZ)

is the latest Republican to dive off into the looney-bin end of the pool, not that he hasn't swan-dived there before.

ETA: Attributed him to TX, he's from AZ. Sorry for blaming TX for this dimwit.

[randome]

14. I would love to see a female legislator simply punch him in his stupid mouth!

Maybe the rest would have second thoughts about opening their own fat mouths.

15. I wouldn't be opposed

to someone capturing that on film so that we can all watch it happen.

[kestrel91316]

21. The only things distinguishing AZ from TX these days are humidity, oil, and saguaros.

[Aerows]

23. But they don't own this idiot

I give them credit for that. Now Louie Gohmert? They totally own that.

26. "...dive off into the looney-bin end of the pool, not that he hasn't swan-dived there before."

[northoftheborder]

4. these people have an obsession with reproduction that is sick, sick, sick

[ZRT2209]

28. Franks, Ghomert and their pals are perverts, plain and simple

[Drale]

5. Evidence? EVIDENCE??

ITS DOESN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT EVIDENCE IN THE BIBLE!!!....I hope my fake outrage answers your question.

[Autumn]

6. Maybe none of the women he's raped just haven't gotten pregnant.

[Aerows]

7. Makes you wonder

Scumbag, moron or both.

[Autumn]

10. How else could he have such unfaltering belief in such

a stupid idea?

[Aerows]

11. Two words

Willful Ignorance.

[Lint Head]

8. He doesn't seem to be very intelligent. Ignorant people can be made to believe a lot of things.

[leftyladyfrommo]

12. His attitude is really common in the Midwest and South

The Bible belt.

As my brother put it "Some of this stuff is so jaw droppingly stupid you don't know how to begin to answer."

I hear this stuff daily. My reply is usually, "Where do you get this stuff?"

[Aerows]

16. I live in the South

We aren't all as stupid as this jackass.

[hamsterjill]

13. It's yet another way to blame a woman for being raped by a man.

This is another one of the idiots' ways and means of trying to say something enough times and long enough to where some other idiots start believing it. They don't care about science.

In their sickand twisted minds, if a woman can't get pregnant if raped, then any woman who actually does get pregnant wasn't "raped" - she obviously enjoyed the experience enough to allow her body to become pregnant.

Sick, sick bastards!

[Tanuki]

17. Tens of thousands of women get pregnant each year in the U.S. as a result of rape,

according to data cited by the Washington Post:

18. Because he graduated from the Todd Akin School of Medicine and Science.

[Aerows]

24. And attended

the nutter association of political neanderthalism.

[City Lights]

19. He is clueless.

Pulling words out of his rectum.

[thucythucy]

20. This is a common belief among anti-choicers.

I first ran into this years ago at an anti-rape event, where some clown was distributing leaflets making just this claim. It's a way they can be zealots on abortion--calling for it to be prohibited even in cases of rape and incest--without having to admit to themselves or others that they're heartless jerks without an iota of compassion for women and girls.

If you took this away from them, they might actually have to think through the consequences of their hateful anti-choice, victim blaming, women and girl shaming demonology.

And we certainly couldn't have that, could we?

[kestrel91316]

22. This has been a common belief among religious believers since the Middle Ages, which is

apparently what we are headed back to with this crap.

[arcane1]

25. It also gives them the sense of "rape immunity"

Because if any of their victims becomes pregnant, then they themselves are innocent of the crime of rape (in their minds).

[thucythucy]

27. Good point.
