That's the best thing I've seen all day. So good I don't feel one bit bad about quoting it.

The best bit is the bodyguard's furtive look about to make sure nobody saw that.

From the comments section of a Mark Mardell article on Todd "Legitimate Rape" Aiken:

Shhhh--We're deep in the dark forests of the Missouri Ozarks where we have found a tribe of humanoids still walking on their knuckles. Contact with the modern world cannot be ruled out because we find they carry voters registration cards for the U.S. elections. If we don't startle them we can study them until November when it is believed they return to middle-earth.

Are you there, Todd?

During a 1998 Senate campaign in Arkansas, the Republican candidate Dr Fay Boozman claimed that hormones generated by fear usually prevented rape victims from getting pregnant.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-19339960

I sense some of you are not familiar with the role God's RapeShield(TM) plays in conception. Allow me to educate you.

In 1999 Gov. Mike Huckabee appointed Dr. Fay Boozman, an ophthalmologist who served on the medical advisory board for a "crisis pregnancy center", as the head of Arkansas Department of Health.

Dr. Boozman became [in]famous for passing off personal belief and/or religious propaganda as medical opinion when, during a 1998 failed state senate campaign, he stated that "pregnancies from rape are rare because of 'God's protective little shield'." [The WaPo, reports that Dr. Boozman denied he attributed the phenomenon to "God's little shield," as the local paper reported....]

According to the person who was appointed head of the Arkansas Department of Health by Gov. Huckabee, it's unlikely for women to get pregnant during rape because an adrenaline rush triggered by fear causes hormonal changes that block a woman's ability to conceive during a violent attack.

When asked to justify his [own] ignorance of medical matters, Dr. Boozman apologized for - wait for it! - causing hurt feelings but refused to retract his statement that rape rarely results in pregnancy because of RapeShield(TM) hormones. Although admitting that he was not quoting a scientific study, he insisted that he was sharing his personal observations as a doctor.

'he insisted that he was sharing his personal observations as a doctor'??? :eek:

He learnt about these hormones while dealing with people's eyes???

Surely these hormones only manifest if a woman is being 'legitimately' raped...so unless the doctor was actually.....:eek::eek:

When I read that first I laughed a little but then I just felt really really bad for the well intentioned but unfortunate woman.
