Mitt Hailed Doctor Behind 'Legit Rape' Theory in 2007 HE PRAISED JACK WILLKE IN LAST CAMPAIGN By Mary Papenfuss, Newser Staff newser.com Posted Aug 22, 2012 2:31 AM CDT \| Updated Aug 22, 2012 3:03 AM CDT (NEWSER) – Though Mitt Romney is giving Rep. Todd Akin grief for his " legitimate rape" birth control theory, he once hailed the doctor who cooked up the idea in the first place. Dr. Jack C. Willke, considered the father of the anti-abortion movement, believes the trauma that occurs during a "violent rape" can trigger a shutdown of the woman's reproductive system, therefore making pregnancies in such cases rare—a theory not supported by medical evidence. The last time Romney ran for the GOP presidential nomination, a 2007 statement from his campaign hailed Willke as a "leading voice within the pro-life community," adding that he would be an important "surrogate" for Romney's "pro-life and pro-family agenda," the Los Angeles Times reports. “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.
