I don’t see how Akin’s comments re-victimize anybody. When did Akin ever say that a woman can only get pregnant if she wants it? He was commenting about there being some natural protections for raped women because of the body’s fight-or-flight chemicals. How does that turn into “A woman can only get pregnant if she wants it?”
From what I can see, Akin would agree with everything you just said, and so would everybody on this thread, probably. So what are we fighting about?
We’re fighting because there are grievance pimps who are claiming that Akin says that if a woman gets pregnant after rape it must be because she’s either lying about the rape or wanted to get pregnant anyway. He didn’t say either, and the grievance pimps are effectively playing us for fools.
I take grievance with you for lumping me in with "us". {;^)
