Tina Fey takes aim at Sen. Todd Aiken
Last night, at a big major event in New York City supporting women’s reproductive rights 42 year old T.V star Tina Fey took aim at Todd Aiken for his continuous comments about rape.
I wish we could have an honest and respectful dialogue about these complicated issues, but it seems like we can’t right now. And if I have to listen to one more gray-faced man with a $2 haircut explain to me what rape is, I’m going to lose my mind.”
Todd Akin claims that women can’t really get pregnant from a legitimate rape because the body secretes hormones,” adding, “Now I can’t even finish this sentence without getting dumber; it’s making me dumber when I say it — but it’s something about the body not being able to get pregnant when it’s under physical stress. Mr. Akin, I think you are confusing the phrase ‘legitimate rape’ with the phrase ‘competitive gymnastics.’”
