It seems you haven’t taken the time to read EXACTLY what Akin said:

“It seems to me, from what I understand from doctors, that’s really rare. If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down. But let’s assume that maybe that didn’t work or something: I think there should be some punishment, but the punishment ought to be of the rapist, and not attacking the child.”

Note that he was saying that DOCTORS have said that pregnancies resulting from violent rape (as opposed to fake claims of rape) are RARE.

That is TRUE, Jonty30. For decades a variety of doctors have said that.

You said that Akin said that “raped women don’t get pregnant.” No, that is a lie. Akin said that doctors have said that pregnancies resulting from violent rape are RARE.

Get your facts straight before you start misrepresenting a conservative republican.
