Shouldn't we keep an open mind about it? What he said is something I've heard before, it's not something he made up on the spot. People with medical backgrounds whom I trust have told me basically the same thing. We've seen countless examples of the medical establishment making dubious claims because it's politically correct--everything from the "gay gene" to second hand smoke dangers. Why should we dismiss Akin's argument so easily?
Keep an open mind about what?
I’m sorry people, but women don’t have a “rape mode”
Women’s bodies do not “shut down” when they are raped.
Can physical/emotional trauma cause a delay in ovulation IF ovulation has not yet occurred? Yes.
If ovulation has already happened - will the body somehow “shut down” to prevent conception?
No.
Therefore - pregancy can - and does - happen during rape.
Just using the words “legitimate rape” is amazingly tone deaf and unnecessarily insults victims.
Akin has just handed a nice gift for Sandra Fluke and the gang.
Maybe if the race weren’t so important no one would pay attention and it would blow over.
But the MSM smells blood here.
