Unto the stupid all things are stupid

From the NRO stable of writers, Mona Charen comes to the defense of a Senate candidate who relied on 13th-century misconception* to justify the idea that women shouldn't have access to abortions after rape because if they became pregnant then they can't have been legitimately raped. Hilarity ensues.
H/t bbkf
Stupid ignorabimuses deserve Senatorial representation too!

* The forced-birthers reviving this belief for the 20th century cite Nazi death-camp research on ovulation after torture as their primary source.

Many things about the human body are peculiar and amazing- for instance, the ability to write NRO columns without a functioning cerebral cortex.

They are merely teaching the controversy.

It is a post-truth world, after all.

Ho. Lee. Crap.

Ignoring the relative states of health of "concentration camp detainee" vs "typical American woman," I don't suppose it ever occurred to these bozos that a woman might have already ovulated just BEFORE the rape? In which case the stress wouldn't stop her from having already ovulated?

I looked it up, and it appears that there is no evidence that witches are made of wood, but it didn’t seem out of the realm of possibility to me.
