Oh...and http://news.discovery.com/human/akin-pregnancy-rape-120820.html "In the study, Holmes and her colleagues, followed more than 4,000 American adults over a three-year period. Nationally, they found rape-related pregnancy rate was 5 percent among women of reproductive age, 12 to 45, meaning about 32,000 pregnancies result from rape each year, they concluded. At the end of the day, Holmes said of Akin's comments, "It's just simple lack of education into the human body," adding that "the reproductive system is going to respond in the same way whether it's rape, or you're madly in love with someone. It's tubes and pipes and sperm and eggs, and there's nothing that will stop that process."

It's tubes and pipes and sperm and eggs, and there's nothing that will stop that process.

I agree. Yet the question remains...what happens in the days and weeks after the sperm and egg meet?
Does she address the issue of possible miscarriage through heightened cortisol production caused by stress that might occur from having to emotionally deal with the fact that the woman is pregnant from the rape?

Aside...there it is, recognition that sperm and egg contact is in fact the beginning of life.
