Former Saturday Night Live alum Victoria Jackson has come a long way from her ditsy comedienne shtick of the eighties. Now a conservative activist, she’s got a lot of knowledge, especially when it comes to human sexuality. 

Talking to a radio host at the Republican National Convention, Jackson offered the final word on the Todd Akin controversy, explaining that women obviously almost never get pregnant when raped because she’s never met one who has, and that a growing fetus is not really a part of a woman’s body because, you know, they’ve got genitals and stuff.

Via Huffington Post:

“The Todd Akin thing was so blown out of proportion — it’s a joke,” Jackson said at the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla., when interviewed for my SiriusXM OutQ radio program. “How many times do people get pregnant from rape? It’s point zero zero one percent. It’s a joke. I read lots of articles. I know people, because I’m 53. I’ve know a lot of people, and I’ve actually never known anyone who got pregnant from being raped.”

“And guess what?” she continued. “If I got raped, I would have the baby. And if I didn’t want to keep it because I had these [mocking tone] horrible nightmares, I would adopt it out. But I think that God can turn a bad thing into a good thing. And that, if I got raped and a beautiful baby who was innocent was born out of it, that would be a blessing. The DNA of a baby is individual. It’s not the mother’s DNA. It’s not the father’s DNA. And that’s why I believe abortion is murder, because it’s not the woman’s body. It has it’s own DNA. If there’s a boy baby inside of me, he has a penis. That’s not my body.”

I can only assume that her next gig after the convention wrapped was to teach abstinence-only sex ed classes in Mississippi.
