Is There Such Thing as Legitimate Rape?

Accordingly to Todd Akin, the GOP Senate candidate from Missouri, there is.

“First of all, from what I understand from doctors, (pregnancy from rape) is really rare,” Akin told KTVI-TV in a clip posted to YouTube by the Democratic super PAC American Bridge. “If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.”

And the GOP objects to its views being characterized as a "War on Women?"
