It's tubes and pipes and sperm and eggs, and there's nothing that will stop that process.

I agree. Yet the question remains...what happens in the days and weeks after the sperm and egg meet?
Does she address the issue of possible miscarriage through heightened cortisol production caused by stress that might occur from having to emotionally deal with the fact that the woman is pregnant from the rape?

Aside...there it is, recognition that sperm and egg contact is in fact the beginning of life.

I already addressed that. Statistically about 15-20% of rapes via pregnancy lead to miscarriage, not much different from the standard 10-20% which is normal. The debate is not what happens after pregnancy, Akin sparked a firestorm of criticism because he essentially said that if a woman gets pregnant, then she wasn't "really" raped which is absolutely idiotic. "If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down."
