For the record, ALL studies done before the heinous Roe decision showed that there was a 1% or less chance of a woman becoming pregnant by FORCIBLE rape. It’s pointless to discuss such a thing now. Best, Bob

Sorry, but several studies show that the statistics are higher than that. Will find some for you.

Here is a study from a major, peer reviewed, OBGYN journal: American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecolology. The CDC says the same, (and cites this article among others). Bottom line is that the statistics don't support the Akin's statement. His pro life position is excellent, but his medical knowledge is lacking. In cases like this, best to state one and shut up about the other.

And Planned Parenthood's Infanticide's own Guttmacher Institute says 1/10th of 1% of abortions are attributable to rape or incest reasons.

As Bachmann asked a moderator in the GOP primary debate season, why don't we talk about the other 99.9%?

Akin's roadkill. He should immediately bow out but he's an idiot who thinks a Republican can "misspeak" in today's political climate and survive. If he doesn't go he will damage the national campaign.
