Well there was that whole Todd Akin saying that women's bodies have a way to shut down conception in the event of a "legitimate" rape thing. That's a case that was so extreme that Akin got punished in the polls for it. But it was actually not a rare point of view among a certain kind of evangelical Christian before Akin made the mistake of saying it on the radio. I suspect more people realize it is simply not true now, but it was accepted as fact by more than just Akin.
