Exactly. The phrase "legitimate, forcible rape" is not really the most subtle way to insinuate what he believes to be a common inverse. I suppose that by suggesting that those women who become pregnant clearly weren't
really raped, he's able to disregard the awful consequences of a strictly uniform, fundamentalist, and (to my mind) archaic piece of legislature he advocates.
America is a scary place.
