Article was difficult to read due to author being a shrill, irritating bitch.

That is the Gawker family of sites for you. Either whiny women or gay douchebags.

We don't need the gubmint.

Trying to distance himself from the "legitimate rape" comment that Rep. Todd Akin (R-Mo.) made last week, Pennsylvania Senate candidate Tom Smith (R) stirred up further controversy by comparing a pregnancy caused by rape to "having a baby out of wedlock."

mith said Monday at the Pennsylvania Press Club that although he condemns Akin's comment, he agrees with Akin that abortion should be banned without any exceptions, including for rape and incest victims. Pressed by a reporter on how he would handle a daughter or granddaughter becoming pregnant as a result of rape, Smith said he had already "lived something similar to that" in his family.

"She chose life, and I commend her for that," he said. "She knew my views. But, fortunately for me, I didn't have to ... she chose the way I thought. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't rape."

When a reporter asked Smith to clarify what kind of situation was similar to becoming pregnant from rape, the candidate responded, "Having a baby out of wedlock."

He added, "Put yourself in a father's position. Yes, it is similar."

Yes because I make statements like that all the time.

Or wait - were you just race bating?

Which again goes to my first bit.

Also, I've never even voted as a Republican.

He's more right than wrong.  It only take a second or two to grant or deny consent.  It takes at least a couple of minutes to produce a pregnancy.  Weighted by time, getting pregnant by illegitimate rape is pretty much the same as getting pregnant with illegitimate child.
