"Tina Fey has chided two prominent Republican politicians for making controversial comments about rape. Representative Todd Akin drew condemnation for his comment in August that &amp;quot;legitimate&amp;quot; rape victims often do not get pregnant because the body &amp;quot;has ways to try to shut that whole thing down&amp;quot;. The remark has since been described in the press as scientifically inaccurate.   Indiana Senate candidate Richard Mourdock caused further controversy this week when questioned if he supports letting rape victims have abortions. &amp;quot;I think even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, it is something that God intended to happen,&amp;quot; he answered, drawing rebukes from members of his own party. Fey vented her frustration about the politicising of rape and abortion while speaking to the Center for Reproductive Rights in New York City this week. &amp;quot;I wish we could have an honest and respectful dialogue about these complicated issues, but it seems like we can&amp;#039;t right now,&amp;quot; Fey complained. She added: &amp;quot;And if I have to listen to one more grey-faced man with a $2 haircut explain to me what rape is, I&amp;#039;m going to lose my mind!&amp;quot;  Fey then specifically mocked Akin&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;legitimate rape&amp;quot; remark. &amp;quot;Todd Akin claims that women can&amp;#039;t really get pregnant from a legitimate rape because the body secretes hormones,&amp;quot; she said, adding: &amp;quot;Now I can&amp;#039;t even finish this sentence without getting dumber; it&amp;#039;s making me dumber when I say it!&amp;quot; The 30 Rock creator went on to say: &amp;quot;[Akin said] something about the body not being able to get pregnant when it&amp;#039;s under physical stress. Mr Akin, I think you are confusing the phrase &amp;#039;legitimate rape&amp;#039; with the phrase &amp;#039;competitive gymnastics&amp;#039;.&amp;quot; The Center for Reproductive Rights supports women&amp;#039;s rights for an abortion in more than 45 countries around the world.
