Missouri Congressman and GOP Senate candidate Todd Akin is a brilliant scientist (with a B.S. in something called Management Engineering) and is therefore highly qualified to speak on the intricacies of female anatomy especially when it comes to the heretofore unknown magic powers of the reproductive system. Did you know, for example, that the uterus is able to determine the difference betweenlegitimate and illegitimate rape? I bet you didnt even know there was a difference, unlike Todd Akin, who currently serves on the House of Representatives Science and Technology Committee thanks to his expertise. In science.
Not only does your uterus know the difference, but in the case of legitimate rape, it will shut down, trapping the the rape-sperm and preventing it from reaching your pure and unspoiled eggs. That means the approximately 32,000 women who become pregnant each year from rape were the victims of illegitimate rape. Whats the difference between legitimate and illegitimate rape? Weve compiled this helpful guide from what we assume Todd Akin (B.S. in Management Engineering and member of the House Science and Technology Committee, just to recap) believes.
