Akin is now a national hero for courage under witless criticism. He has emerged now as a hero to millions. He will be loved and revered for countless decades as Senator Akin and as a fearless Marine and American for life.
You folks that want to criticize his correct statement — do you want to kill the baby for that alleged “rape” in the back seat? Is that what you want?

Akin’s biggest supporter is none other than Senator Clarie McCaskill. She loves him. You should feel proud to stand in that company. A company of morons. BTW, he is no champion of those who oppose the murder of the unborn, he is unwittingly advancing the cause of infanticide.

Is that you Claire McCaskill?

Hi Mary
If a womans ovaries have already released an egg, shes just as likely to get pregnant from a rape as she would be from a voluntary encounter, Dr. Barbara Levy, vice president for health policy at the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, told NBC News. From the biological standpoint, a woman is at risk for pregnancy if shes at a vulnerable point in her menstrual cycle when the rape occurs.
Dr. Lauren Streicher, an assistant professor at the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University in Chicago.... In response to Akins statement that If its a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to shut that whole thing down, Streicher said, You let me know if you find the doctor that knows how a uterus knows which sperm to ward off.
"That is absolutely false," said Dr. George Attia, director of the division of reproductive endocrinology and infertility at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), which counts 56,000 members, also called the remarks "medically inaccurate, offensive and dangerous."
"In a Tuesday interview with The Christian Post, Dr. Gene Rudd, an obstetrician-gynecologist who is also senior vice president of Christian Medical & Dental Associations, said there is no evidence that pregnancies are rare among rape victims. "I don't know where [Akins is] coming from, but what he said, there's no basis for it," Rudd explained.

There are no words for this it is just nuts, said Michael Greene, a professor of obstetrics, gynecology and reproductive biology at Harvard Medical School." Read more here: http://www.kansascity.com/2012/08/20/3771226/doctors-dispute-akins-claim-but.html#storylink=cpy
Michael Weaver, an emergency medicine physician at St. Lukes Hospital and medical director of the forensic care program at St. Lukes Health System, said Akin was wrong. To try to be able to say that anyones going to respond in a consistent pattern thats going to limit their probability of becoming pregnant is ridiculous, Weaver said.

this is the third thread (at least) where you have insinuated a woman who is pregnant from a rape is only "alleging" rape. It's getting really old.
