"The national rape-related pregnancy rate is 5.0% per rape among victims of reproductive age (aged 12 to 45); among adult women an estimated 32,101 pregnancies result from rape each year." (Am J Obstet Gynecol. 1996 Aug;175(2):320-4)

1 in 20 is not a big chance, but it's an awfully dumb thing to say. Akin should bug out, and fast. Not that he will. But he should.
