Well we must be grateful for small mercies, I suppose. This woman is 83 yrs old and has no science degree. Her qualification is in nursing.
However, given the racial discrimination when she was growing up, I can imagine she might be someone who could and should have achieved a science degree, if the opportunities had been available to a black woman in those days.

A guy on a science committee really said something that stupid? That's insane. Must be one of the dumbest things I've heard all year.I'd say it is a vast improvement over this former Science Committee member:

Oh I see it says on the pic - sorry I didn't read it properly at first. But what a jerk.
I see from this: Pregnancy from rape - Wikipedia that some studies show the likelihood of conception as a result of rape may even be higher than with consensual sex, for poorly understood reasons.
Also, interestingly, that it seems to be an ancient myth in some cultures that pregnancy requires a woman to enjoy sex and thus is not possible in cases of "genuine" rape, this being used as a convenient way to justify divorcing a wife who has been raped!! So this antediluvian idiot still believes that - amazing. (As a side issue, I have read that some raped women complain of having an orgasm in spite of themselves during rape and get very disturbed psychologically as a result of guilt induced by this. Clearly it doesn't mean they enjoy the experience: it's just a reflex of the body.)

Welcome to the American Republican party.
Did I come across as cross?
well now we're just working at cross purposes
These puns are starting to make me cro...errr...angry.
Have you been following these exchanges? Do you have us in the crosshairs?
Yes, but only figuratively. Not like I'm going to break out my crossbow and start shooting.
