I fail to grasp why there are so many are making ignorant, drama queen noise like that.
ill informed?! There are scientific studies that backs up the claim that when a women is under extreme stress, that extreme stress interferes with her ability to conceive. This is not rocket science and makes perfect sense. Many have noted this was taught in medical school for many years. What is so heard to believe about it being potentially true?
Repugnant?! It is obvious he meant "forcible rape", as opposed to "one night stand, morning after regret" claims of rape (NOT A LEGITIMATE RAPE) or statutory rape of a 17 year old girl in the back seat of a car by her 18 year old boy friend. Neither of those would produce the extreme stress that could prevent conception.

Many have noted this was taught in medical school for many years
care to name one medical school that backs up your claim
I swear, who needs the ‘rats to spin a Republicans words into maliciousness when other Republicans will do the job for them?
‘rats get a pass for saying things much worse than this and all the other ‘rats stand up for them. We jump all over ours for their spinlessness in standing down, like Trent Lott-and that’s true enough. So Akin doesn’t stand down when any fair-minded person can tell that he meant nothing malicious, and the Republican establishment jumps on him as hard as the ‘rats.
That’ll sure teach Republicans to quit folding under ‘rat pressure everytime they accuse us of speaking in “code” or using “dog whistles”, or even not wording something in the most judicious way, even if the man’s record speaks to his character.
Political correctness and the art of being “offended” have ruined honest discourse and thought in this country.
No studies have not proven what you ignorantly claim. You are showing as much if not more ignorance than Akin himself.
Studies on Cortisol levels and miscarriage are no proof that pregnancy is any less likely when sperm is introduced forcibly or voluntarily.. PERIOD.. You and others claims to the contrary are incredibly ignorant.
Cortisol is a stress hormone, and PREGNANCY ITSELF is stressful, and findings that higher coritsol levels lead to higher incidence of miscarriage are not proof general stress causes miscarriage, its an indicator, not a causation. Problems with the pregnancy defacto cause higher cortisol levels.
You and others completely ignorant claims that studies of women with fertility issues who are actively trying to become pregnant are equivalent to a rape victim are nonsensical as well.
Pregnancy rates for rape victims are the same as consentual sex.. from a single sex act, whether voluntary or forced are consistently in the single digit odds of becoming pregnant. Anyone or anything telling you otherwise is an abject IDIOT.
