Exactly. He thinks he has hit on a great argument there. He's not actually pro-rape, but he thinks he's made a great analogy between rape and abortion and we'll all see how women have the "freedom" to use their "superior strength" against the fetus. And from that we will realize how horrible abortion is, and the fetus is like a rape victim.
