WHAT in the WORLD is this guy talking about????

First Thoughts: Akin it worse - First Read

WOW. Doesn't matter if you're a Democrat, Repulican, or Martian... this is just flat out ignorant nonsense. Man, they ought to muzzle these old idiots before they turn them loose on the public to attempt to further their cause. I think he belongs in 1312, not 2012.

"Legitimate rape?"

"Women's body's have a way of taking care of that?"

please let me not run in to a doctor like this!!!!!

Hi g/d just read your link my take he is an idiot .lets see
this guy if we go to men/women traits
men should be physically stronger than women (don't look like he's anywhere fit)
Women are emotional way more than men,i concur
women are more controlled and can multi-task,again i concur
women can cope with grief better than men
women have a higher pain barrier than men,
Some women can cook better not all mind.
My point let this idiot get raped and then see how he feels.

He may require a bottle of man up.no offence to anyone.
Just my thoughts

He's now apologized OF COURSE but ONLY because others pointed out to him what an idiotic thing he said. He never would have apologized if his handlers and others hadn't pointed it out. Because that's what he truly believes. Why would you apologize when you think you're right. Back peddle only when others frowned.

A woman's body will flush out the fetus if it's rape. Okaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay......

Perhaps on whatever planet he's from but not so much here on planet earth. I think he needs a bottle of REALITY!!!

What amazes me, the most, is that there are people who will actually vote for this jerk. Apology or no, his whole attitude predates Neanderthal.

Maybe saying a "legit abortion"maybe" he is meaning a documented rape, hospital rape kit done, not just a claim of rape???Lets face it some women are afraid to say raped, others lie and say they were raped too. Rape is normally very violent.

couldn't get it to play unfortunately

Played for me, but I couldn't watch all of it. Too disgusting.

Horrifying ignorance by your legislators and judiciary.

@ GoodDog: I cannot conceive (no pun intended) the place you are living in, but if anyone in the public eye in Australia said anything like those things, they would be pilloried by the press, and immediately renounced by their party.

But there is an upside: airheaded statements like these might motivate more people to get out there and vote against the nitwits who make them.
