Summary
This document appears to be a page from a manuscript or draft article in which the author defends a controversial 'metaphor' they previously made about a 'rape-in of legislators' wives.' The author compares this statement to satirical routines by comedians Louis C.K. and Lenny Bruce, arguing it was a 'pro-choice parable' not meant to be taken literally. The text then pivots to criticizing Republican politicians Todd Akin and Richard Mourdock for their comments on rape and pregnancy.
