Mary, your fraud science doesn’t work anywhere. You’ve already been proven wrong in the other thread, yet you keep insisting on your particular brand of nonsense, especially scary because you’re a woman and should have a better idea of the whole than a middle-aged man.

“Rep. Todd Akin suggested to St. Louis station KTVI on Sunday that if a “legitimate rape” occurs, “the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.”

Get used to that, you’ll be seeing his idiocy all the way until Election Day.

A woman's body doesn't "shut down". It actually goes into overdrive!

stress hormones miscarriage cortisol

A pregnant woman under stress, and having a baby from an act of rape has to be (I'm not a woman so that's opinion) stressful on a woman, produces higher levels of cortisol which increases the risk of miscarriage.

Simply looking into this a little bit would reduce a lot of this mistaken commentary.

Would you like to dance with me on the science?

I think Mary’s right and YOU’RE wrong.

When a person is under attack your entire hormonal balance is completely changed, starting with the adrenal glands that regulate fight or flight. It is not far fetched that the odds of getting pregnant diminish when you’re under duress. Akin said it was RARE, which I agree with.

Now, I’ve seen you fervently, frothingly, posting on all these threads about Akin needing to go. He probably does at this point since there is no funding left but I believe everything needs to take a deep breath and evaluate what he actually said. He said it very poorly but he’s not necessarily wrong.
