Karrin Taylor Robson Thinks If You're Raped You Can't Get Pregnant

Yes, I know you we went through this whole thing with Todd Akin in 2012, but stupid GOP conspiracies--especially around sex--have a way of coming back again & again. Robson doesn't think you get to control your body if you're raped. And, IAC, no biggie(!), because you won't get pregnant. Cliff provides breakdown & takedown.

now i'm going to positive theory here my theory goes like this the reason that most republican elected lawmakers or those trying to get elected come off as creepy and or stupid is because they are um i feel like i've got a whole abundance of evidence to prove this but um why don't we talk about a specific case today i never thought we'd be returning to this subject but here we are um we're talking about when women are sadly the victims of rape or incest and now in this america will be forced in numerous states to bear the children a daughter having to bear the child of her father um a woman having to bear the child of her rapist and then in some states that rapist actually having paternity claims this is sick and these people are sick and that they're so sexually obsessed as i talked about an earlier video about ken paxton and clarence thomas longdong silver himself and their attempt to get rid of the lawrence precedent in the supreme court that would mean that they can tell you how to have sex and with who and which actual orifi are okay and i'm not kidding um should give you an idea about what creepy little freaks they are so when when we're discussing rape numerous republicans christie gnome um south dakota governor uh others let's just make lemons out of lemonade or let's make i'm sorry let's just make lemonade out of lemons you know hey he just got raped no big deal let's have a life let's have a child i didn't tend to have and look at them every day and have them remind us of our rapist or of the person in my family who molested me um it's sick really um we have a state senator here in ohio who is infamous she was a congresswoman for a while and sucked at that job as much as she sucks at this job who said the same kind of thing like oh well you know you didn't plan to have a life but you just make the best of it like you know you went to a fair and your balloon popped and you're upset so you do the best you can kind of like that in that way um and they're out there all over the place and they'll be really interesting as this election season heats up to hear how they defend rape and molestation just being sort of kind of bad things that happen that you really can just make the best of it doesn't sort of take over your life for nine months while you're pregnant with the baby of the person who violated you it doesn't make it so you can't work it doesn't push you under economic stress it doesn't put you under any sort of health dangers uh it doesn't change your life and also swell you up maybe make you gain weight that you don't want to gain and every other thing that happens with pregnancy for those of us who understand what pregnancy is um so even worse even sicker are the ones who come at you with the debunked theories of well rape isn't called rape doesn't cause people to get pregnant now if you're old enough or just for paying attention back in 2012 you may remember infamously there was a congressman named todd akin and claire mccaskill beat him like a rented mule because he said he said if a legitimate rape happens i'm not sure we never knew what the illegitimate rapes were um then the body shuts that whole thing down and where he got his theory from was the usual right-wing group of cranks you know it didn't make any sense well now we have a new holder of the title uh the late todd akin who passed away here he's gone now now we have let's see what is her wonderful name karrin taylor robson she's running for governor in um arizona and she seems swell she said first of all that rape was extremely rare uh if you look at the guttmacher institute and other sort of um reliable uh organizations that report on this they'll tell you that 80 of rapes don't go or go unreported for various reasons women are scared for their life women are ashamed um they don't go reported um ms robson forgot that right here um in addition to that um there's the fact that she's getting her little theory about oh well it doesn't happen often or whatever um you know basically that's because she's getting from a national review article that only two percent of uh pregnancies happen from rapes and being a stupid person she wouldn't put together that to her that means see it doesn't happen as opposed to rape doesn't happen as often as sex that's not rape and rape also is underreported so we only know about that many and there's
