Catholic bishop says Brazilian rape victims lie about rape to get a legal abortion. And more.

X-posted from GD.

I don't have an English link. The fuckwad's name is Luiz Gonzaga Bergonzini and he's the bishop of Guarulhos, a suburb of São Paulo.

He also says that rape is "very difficult without the consent of the woman".

To "illustrate" the concept to women that come to him and say they've been raped, he gives her a ballpoint pen, retains the cap in his hand, and tells her, now put the pen in the cap. As she tries to do that, he starts moving his hand around, and says, "See?"

If someone has an English link, please share. Portuguese: http://www.ihu.unisinos.br/index.php?option=com_noticias&Itemid=18&task=detalhe&id=44253

Clarification: in Brazil abortion is only legal in cases of rape (statutory or not), incest, and threat to the mother's health.
