Nothing bizarre about it. Have you never known a woman who was trying to get pregnant and, when the doctor could find nothing medically wrong, told her to relax and the pregnancy would happen? Are all doctors to advise that guilty of malpractice?
You will not win that one in the public debate. Akin can try all he wants and will be destroyed. Just state he is against killing a child regardless of the mistakes that led to it and stand by that. Nothing else needs to be said. You will have dr’s walked out left and right fighting the chances of getting pregnant (whether true or false).
OMG. You need to stop. This kind of asinine argument makes all conservatives look like Neanderthals. This is where we get our reputation from. What he said was idiotic and unsubstantiated. You shouldn’t have to break out a Physician’s Deskside reference to understand what a candidate is saying about getting pregnant. We lose this seat if he doesn’t drop out.
Your comment is exactly why conservatives are stereotyped as backwards neanderthals.
There’s not a single peer-reviewed study that supports either your or Akin’s assertions. It was an idiotic comment by him, he should apologize, step down and go away to hopefully never be heard from publicly again. If he stays on, you can get used to seeing Claire McCaskill for yet another 6 years.
