Bryan Fischer of American Family Association: Akin right about ‘real, genuine rape’

Bryan Fischer of the American Family Association on Monday insisted that Rep. Todd Akin (R-MO) was right to claim women could not become pregnant from “legitimate rape.”

“What Todd Akin is talking about is when you’ve got a real, genuine rape. A case of forcible rape, a case of assault, where a woman has been violated against her will through the use of physical force where it is physically traumatic for her,” Fischer said on his radio program.

“Under those circumstances, the woman’s body — because of the trauma that has been inflicted on her — it may interfere with the normal function processes of her body that lead to conception and pregnancy.”

The loonies are coming out to show that Akin is not an anomaly but part of a lethal strain
living alive and well in Wingnuttia.

These beliefs are medieval in their origins and then gained additional credence from the Nazi death camp experiments/torture.

A national remedial sex-ed lesson. This is a so-called "teaching moment".
