“Who is claiming that there is a way to “prevent” a pregnancy from happening?”

“”If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.””

AKIN WAS, this is what this whole discussion is about, HOLY crap, calling you dumb was being kind.

“”If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.””

Please! Stop with the snippets!

Charles Jaco:
Okay, so if an abortion can be considered in the case of, say, tubal pregnancy or something like that, what about in the case of rape? Should it be legal or not?”

Rep. Todd Akin (R-Mo.):
Well, you know, uh, people always want to try to make that as one of those things, ‘Well, how do you – how do you slice this particularly tough sort of ethical question.’
It seems to me, first of all, from what I understand from doctors, that’s really rare. If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.
But let’s assume that maybe that didn’t work or something. You know, I think there should be some punishment but the punishment ought to be on the rapist and not attacking the child.”

It's about after the woman learns she's pregnant.

If I'm dumb you're intentionally obtuse!
