They probably just regretted having sex the next day, and so they lied about being raped. Cause being stigmatized and grilled and treated like a criminal is totally no big deal, so you know they do it all the time.

Women who get pregnant who don't have a husband or at least a boyfriend to account for it are all lying slutty whores who are suitably ashamed of themselves and lie to avoid being held accountable for their wicked wantonness. Don't you know this?

Or, in Akin's terminology "legitimate?"

This word play is how they negate the reality of these crimes against women. This is the reason behind their proposed legislation, and the addition of it in their party platform.

The GOP does not care about women. That's the reality.
