Gingrey: And in Missouri, Todd Akin was asked by a local news source about rape and he said, Look, in a legitimate rape situation and what he meant by legitimate rape was just look, someone can say I was raped: a scared-to-death 15-year-old that becomes impregnated by her boyfriend and then has to tell her parents, thats pretty tough and might on some occasion say, Hey, I was raped. Thats what he meant when he said legitimate rape versus non-legitimate rape. I dont find anything so horrible about that. But then he went on and said that in a situation of rape, of a legitimate rape, a womans body has a way of shutting down so the pregnancy would not occur. Hes partly right on that.
