Akin has admitted he didn’t know what he was talking about, you may be haven’t followed the story close enough. The part he is wrong about is the biology, he claimed to have read something a long time ago that lead to his elaboration.
Perhaps you could provide that exact qoute ?
you may be haven’t followed the story close enough.
Closer, and in much more depth than maybe you have.
The part he is wrong about is the biology
Is he? So... every time a women has sex (raped or not), they get pregnant ? There are no such thing as 'fertility clinics' in the United States, because it is not a problem ? All women who claim rape were actually 'raped' ? You have statistics and facts to back this up ?
Here is some interesting info:
Manipulating the 'System.'
Women who are willing to kill their own preborn children for mere convenience obviously see lying as a relatively small crime. Rebecca Chalker and Carol Downer admit in their A Woman's Book of Choices that "Before abortion was legal, women sometimes got abortions by claiming that they had been raped."
Pro-abortion women have continued to lie on a huge scale, as proven by the Hyde Amendment's varying effects upon the level of Federal funding of abortions since 1977.
The Hyde Amendment cut off Federal funding for convenience abortions, and paid for 17,983 abortions to save the life of the mother and for rape and incest in Fiscal Year 1981.
In Fiscal Years 1983 and 1984, only abortions to save the life of the mother were allowed under the Amendment, and the average number of abortions paid for during these two years plunged to 411.
This means that about (17,983 - 411) = 17,582 abortions were performed for claimed "rape and incest" under the Hyde Amendment in 1981.
This brings up a very interesting point. To begin with, about 20 percent of all women in the United States qualify for Federal abortion funding under this Amendment due to their low incomes. As mentioned above, the average number of rapes in the United States each year over the period 1980-1997 inclusive was about 179,980.
If this number is divided by five in order to find out approximately how many low-income women were raped during these years, we arrive at 36,000.
In other words, these low-income women are claiming that (17,582/36,000) = 49 percent of all of their rapes resulted in pregnancies!
To take this analysis one step further, Figure 3-5 shows that about 0.8 percent of all women who are raped actually become pregnant as a result of the act. This means that the number of women who claimed that they were raped to get a free Federal abortion was (49 percent/0.8 percent) = 61 times the number that were actually raped.
In other words, more than 98 percent of them lied to get a free taxpayer-paid abortion!
The fact that what he read was true, based on a history of evidence, doesn't matter to you ?
COME ON. YOU KNOW women have claimed RAPE after having consensual sex, Or after they became pregnant. This whole issue is about the use of the word LEGITIMATE, because it implies women would LIE. THAT, is the unspoken reality of this. THAT WORD is what is being objected to. Not whether women who are raped can or cannot get pregnant, but on WHETHER WOMEN LIE to COVER UP the reason for a PREGNANCY, and whether they would CRY RAPE so that they can get the government(meaning YOU and ME) to pay for their ABORTION.
