And you don't think the MSM would have jumped on that with both feet? They would have been whining and carrying on about how rape is bad enough without Akin forcing a woman to carry a child resulting from that rape.
When that moron started talking about “women’s bodies shutting down during rape”, that went into the realm of pure idiocy.
Conception is rare in cases of severe stress. Why do you think doctors advise a woman who is trying to get pregnant to relax when there is no underlying medical reason for the failure to conceive? (Or perhaps you think all those doctors are guilty of malpractice for advising their clients out of pure idiocy.)
The point that you’re missing is that IT happens, tens of thousands of times per year according to the CDC. Studies have previously shown that women have about a 5% chance of ending up pregnant after being raped. Considering how many women are raped in a year, that’s a heck of a lot of pregnancies that Akin basically stated don’t exist or the women lied about.
Another idiot for the media to paint as the stereotypical old white Republican guy that is clueless about a lady’s “magic parts.”
