And you believe everything on that pro-abortion ( http://drjengunter.wordpress.com/tag/abortion/ ) site you link to?
No, the author of that site has a pro-abortion agenda, and is skewing what Akin said to promote her agenda.
For example, that author says that the abortion-cancer link is “long disproven.” Not so. There is evidence that those who have abortions have higher rates of breast cancer: http://www.lifenews.com/2011/01/17/abortion-has-caused-300k-breast-cancer-deaths-since-roe/
The author also mischaracterizes what Akin meant by “legitimate” rapes. We understand him to have meant “assault rapes” as opposed to mere accusations of rape.
The author of that hit-piece states with alarm that one of the footnoted studies is “about sexual dysfunction among rapists,” and not about psychic trauma. Um. Yeah, that footnote supported a contention early in the Physicians For Life article unrelated to psychic trauma.
The question is this: Does “psychic trauma” affect pregnancy rates among victims of “assault rape”? It may.
The larger question is this: Should babies who have been conceived through rape be aborted/killed?
That’s the problem, Akin was dumb enough to draw us into a debate about the chances of psychic trauma affecting pregnancy, instead of the focusing on the issue of abortion.
This is what makes him a bad spokesperson for the pro-life cause, and a bad candidate for the senatorial office.
