I’m not insinuating anything. I’m telling you in plain explicit English that you believe an outrageously stupid myth.

The statistics show that there is a statistically significant decrease in the presence of pregnancies following forcible rape. There is no way to scientifically determine the exact explanation. The fact is that events like this can cause significant hormonal imbalances in women as with any serious traumatic event. This could be the explanation. Another explanation could be prayer. The fact is that there is statistical evidence to show an anomaly. Akin's theory to explain that anomaly is as valid as anyone else's.

I am not willing to throw a man who has been fighting for decades for conservative causes and principles under the bus because he can't adequately explain a statistical anomaly that nobody else can. There have been scientific postulations as to the cause, but there is simply no scientific method to prove or disprove it.

Frankly I believe that the statistical anomaly may simply be that God intervenes in many cases in answer to intercessory prayer. But then I actually believe in God and believes that he intervenes in the lives of those who believe and pray to him.
