I just emailed this question to congressman Todd Akin and requested a response.

Dear C:I was completely wrong to use the term "legitimate" and "rape" in the same sentence. There is no rape that is legitimate. What I said was ill-conceived, wrong and it hurt people. For that I apologize. I was also wrong when I said women's bodies have a way to stave off pregnancy in the event of "legitimate rape." I was misinformed, and I recognize that. However, I do not apologize for my belief in being pro-life and the protection of the unborn.I appreciate the time you took to share your thoughts with me. Please feel free to contact my office in the future if I may be of assistance. Sincerely,Todd AkinMember of Congress

^ whoa, was that what all this hubbub was about? did thirty million morons interpret "legitimate" rape to mean "justified, acceptable" rape? I guess if you're a politician you have to worry about stuff like that, but <facepalm>

more importantly women's bodies have a way to stave off pregnancy in the event of "legitimate rape."which directly implies that there are 'rapes' that are non-legitimate and you can determine this by whether she got pregnant or not. it's not just about the 'legitimate' descriptor by itself.[Edited on August 27, 2012 at 4:06 PM.

yeah, that's the more reasonable reason to be offended...his contention that many so-called "rapes" are actually not rapes at all, and that a woman's biological system will protect her to some degree if she IS raped.I just find it that ^^^^ seems to be his go-to apology to people who are pissed about this
