Let me Google that for you.

Note that there are two types of results on that first page.

1. Question: Would you disown your gay child?
2. Article: Child disowned by parent.

Or was that question about whether or not calling someone a pedophile was slander? Perhaps looking for an example of someone going unprosecuted for kicking out a gay dependent? The first answer is painfully obvious. The second... well, I posted the link. You can read the articles for yourself. Even the few cases there that made the news don't have much prosecuting in them.

Missouri Republican: 'Legitimate rape' rarely causes pregnancy

This belongs in the "amazingly stupid things you've heard people say" thread.

Missouri Republican: 'Legitimate rape' rarely causes pregnancy

Are you fucking kidding me.

Missouri Republican: 'Legitimate rape' rarely causes pregnancy

“First of all, from what I understand from doctors..."

Headline should read: Missouri Republican looses any chance of winning ever.

Missouri Republican: 'Legitimate rape' rarely causes pregnancy

I can't even get past "legitimate rape". WTF?!

[Jervill]

Well, that makes it a lot easier for Democrats to hold onto Missouri's Senate seat at least.  Goddamn, what an idiot.

I think he mean "real rape" aka: if it's not forcible, it's not rape...

This seems in bad taste with all the recent shootings. But whatever floats your boat, I guess.

If it weren't supporting the Tea Party...I'd probably do it 
Hey, I like guns. I support gun control, but I do like them.

I'd like to see him asked for the names of those "doctors".

This...

Also, I've noticed a good number of shooting ranges require membership in the NRA, an organization I generally oppose. I mean... yeah, they've done some good things, and their gun safety efforts are commendable, but most of their recent efforts seem to have been to put anti-gun control people into office, which tend to be the same sort of people who do other things I dislike in office.

Luckily there are a few without such a requirement, it just seems as if the majority(in my area, at least) do require NRA membership and that bothers me.

I don't think he has any actual reasoning behind the "legitimate" like that... Rather, it seems to be a post hoc kind of thing - raped girls doesn't get pregnant, hence a woman who got pregnant from rape can't have been a "legitimate rape" - at least that's how I read it. Or maybe, it's akin to the other guy RedKing posted about in the American Election Thread:

Ain't the first time a Republican has made comments to the effect of "if she got pregnant, she must have wanted it at some level"

"The facts show that people who are raped -- who are truly raped -- the juices don't flow, the body functions don't work and they don't get pregnant," said Aldridge, a 71-year-old periodontist. "Medical authorities agree that this is a rarity, if ever."

That would be a NC state rep back in 1995 who was rightfully pilloried for his comment. Headline for this new comment should be "Republican Lawmakers Continue To Fail Biology Forever".

They both kind of seems to be twists on the "if the woman gets wet/man gets hard or came, they liked it and it wasn't rape" myths, extended into including pregnancy.
