>> “Akin said women have a biological way of stopping pregnancy from a rape, which is just not true” <<

.
If you believe that you need some education. Even an argument between husband and wife, when she is at peak fertility can prevent fertilization.

I don’t know what you’re even trying to say WRT rape, but what Akin said is largely true. the presence of the sperm and egg in the uterus does not guarantee fertilization. Stress chemically inhibits it.

Ok, I’ll bite. Just what are your credentials as far as reproductive health goes? I never said a woman gets pregnant if the egg and sperm are together in the uterus. Be factual. I said if the sperm penetrates the egg, which is correct.

Akin was incorrect in his statements, I think you and possibly 4 others are the only people left still defending his statements. Rape victims do have a higher rate of miscarriage, but that is quite different from getting pregnant. To my understanding, there has never been a reliable study of rape victims and pregnancy. If you know of one, please link it.
