With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

Everyone knows rapists are repelled by ovulating females....“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”

Easy.
If the woman gets pregnant from rape, she actually wanted to get raped and can't get an abortion on those grounds."Ceterum censeo Ben esse expellendum."Comment

What's even more shocking is all of the usual suspects from the Christian Right/GOP rallied around him."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Hannity:
Malkin:"As a political observer I see it differently here. I think for the next week all you're going to hear from Democrats is your comments. And, look, I'm a Christian so I believe in forgiveness. And I can just tell by the sound of your voice that you're very sincere in your apology. But I also -- I think there is one political reality that I think has to be faced by you and your campaign and that is that you know, the reality here is that Democrats now have a ton of ammunition and they are now going to try to use these remarks to hurt everybody they can. And if I was put in that position, I would at least be thinking about what is in the best interest of the party. hat is in the best interest of, you know, Mitt Romney in this case. What is in the best interest of the people of Missouri, are they going to be able to hear a campaign about issues or is this going to be the distraction of the campaign. Are you -- you're not even considering that?" Hannity asked.
The Todd Akin mess; Updated: “Forgiveness?”
By Michelle Malkin • August 20, 2012 10:01 AM Ugh.
Over the weekend, GOP Rep. Todd Akin — the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate in Missouri — said some really, really stupid things. (Twitchy has comprehensive coverage. Click here and keep scrolling.)
There’s no sugar-coating or whitewashing this. It wasn’t a “gaffe.” It was ignorant, garbled nonsense. Asked about his views on abortion in the case of rape, he claimed that “If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.”
Akin’s opponent, incumbent Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill (who is currently 11 points down in the polls), moved in quickly to capitalize on the comments by claiming that Akin was blaming the victims of rape. In the video clip above, however, you’ll note at the end that Akin makes clear that the rapists should be punished, not the victims.
It’s about the only clear, sensible thing he said.
The “legitimate rape” phrase may have been a short-hand way, a la Whoopi Goldberg, of distinguishing between forcible rape and other types of rape or between real and phony claims of rape. Whatever he meant, he made a mess of it.
The cringe-worthiest part of his statement is this: “…the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.”
I don’t know what kind of biology classes Akin took, but rape-related pregnancies occur with significant frequency. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.Last edited by The Mad Monk; August 21, 2012, 10:29.No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.Comment

Ah, the good ol' rape switch--nature's infallible contraceptive. Used to be pretty popular, but changing values forced the RCC to endorse only the rhythm method. Plus, it has to be legitimate rape, and that drives up the cost. Even the most exotic pills are cheaper (and sexier) than hiring a notary to watch.Comment
