There are rumblings that it's from literature provided by one of the SuperPAC-funded fake-science think tanks, as a sort of pseudoscientific end-around to help develop anti-abortion laws. I haven't seen anybody produce the literature yet, though.

Spoken by one of those misogynistic idiots who don't think marital rape, date rape, acquaintance rape, etc. is "real" rape.

If it's not a total stranger accosting women on the street and violently raping them, it's not "legitimate".

And they wonder why the GOP has lost all credibility.

If that is what he believes then he is definitely a misogynist idiot.

I was wondering whether he was talking about that or talking about false rape accusations, in general.

I think "false allegations" are part and parcel, but as more of a general "women: what WON'T they fake?!" kind of general misogyny than anything. This article from the Atlantic outlines the strategy: it's pretty gross.
