Let's hope so.  Missouri is considerably saner than where I live (KS).  I keep 
hoping that some of the sane is going to leak over the border, but after the 
catastrophe that was the primary election, my hopes are dimming…

Oops! Akin now says that he "misspoke." Words came out of his mouth that were 
not first formed in his brain? He was mistaken and has since learned better? He 
will say anything at all to get his way, but wasn't smart enough to know that 
these particular words were not going to help him get what he wants? (And now 
he's doing exactly the same thing?) Misspoke. Right.

At least, since he's running for Senate (and seems likely to get trounced), he 
is presumably giving up his House seat, so we won't be seeing much more of him 
come Nov.

Re: [tips] Somebody Please Smack This POS

2012-08-19 Thread Beth Benoit 
I recall there have been a couple of others with this bizarre bit of
rationalization.   I teach Human Sexuality, so I have a file:

Rep. Henry Aldridge, Republican from North Carolina:
*1995-04-21 04:00:00 PDT Raleigh, N.C.* -- Women do not get pregnant when
raped because "the juices don't flow, the body functions don't work" during
an attack, a state lawmaker said yesterday.

Read more:
http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Lawmaker-Says-Rape-Can-t-Cause-Pregnancy-3036411.php#ixzz241sphgSD


And Rep. Stephen Freind, Republican from Pennsylvania:

>From the *Philadelphia
Inquirer*,
1988:

The odds that a woman who is raped will get pregnant are "one in millions
and millions and millions," said state Rep. Stephen Freind, R-Delaware
County, the Legislature's leading abortion foe.

The reason, Freind said, is that the traumatic experience of rape causes a
woman to "secrete a certain secretion" that tends to kill sperm.

Two Philadelphia doctors specializing in human reproduction characterized
Freind's contention as scientifically baseless.
