As I recall, it quotes medical studies done on women who were raped in Nazi prison camps. The human body rejects impregnation in most cases. He’s being pilloried, for telling the truth and someone needs to come to his defense!

I'm listening to a doctor right now from Washington University Medical Center on the local news confirming what Akin said -- that pregnancy from a rape is rare.

This issue is not whether he’s right, it’s whether he’s off message.

The debate is about abortion, and he should have stuck with it, rather than dragging all of us into a debate about a woman’s physiology and likelihood of getting pregnant through rape. Which is not the point.

Ask yourself this, if a woman is more likely to get pregnant through rape, would he then change his position? If so, then he’s not really pro-life. If not, then why the hell is he bringing up this irrelevant issue?

The guy is an idiot who clearly is not prepared for the big stage.
