Ladies, do you think being raped might make you a little “uptight”? That’s Dr. John C. Willke’s explanation for why rape doesn’t usually produce pregnancy — you see, when we’re “uptight” our “tubes are spastic.”
That’s where Todd Akin got the idea for his “legitimate rape” defense.
Dr. John C. Willke, a general practitioner with obstetric training and a former president of the National Right to Life Committee, was an early proponent of this view, articulating it in a book originally published in 1985 and again in a 1999 article. He reiterated it in an interview Monday.
“This is a traumatic thing — she’s, shall we say, she’s uptight,” Dr. Willke said of a woman being raped, adding, “She is frightened, tight, and so on. And sperm, if deposited in her vagina, are less likely to be able to fertilize. The tubes are spastic.”
More importantly, in 2007 Mitt Romney was proud to receive Willke’s endorsement, this Master of Lady Parts and Reproductive Magic:
“Dr. Willke is a leading voice within the pro-life community and will be an important surrogate for Governor Romney’s pro-life and pro-family agenda,” the Romney campaign said in an October 2007 statement.
“I am proud to have the support of a man who has meant so much to the pro-life movement in our country,” Romney said in the statement. “He knows how important it is to have someone in Washington who will actively promote pro-life policies. Policies that include more than appointing judges who will follow the law but also opposing taxpayer-funded abortion and partial-birth abortion.”
At the time, Willke called Romney “the only candidate who can lead our pro-life and pro-family conservative movement to victory.”
