Republicans: "Women cannot get pregnant from 'legit' rape"

Senate Candidate and Rep. Todd Akin (R-MO) told a local television station on Sunday that “legitimate rape” rarely produces pregnancy because “the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.” Akin cited conversations with unnamed doctors for the bizarre claim.

Seriously what is wrong with republicans? Are they lying, just too religious or are they legitimately this ignorant? This isn't politics this is just basic 5th grade science...
