There's literally dozens of articles featuring quotes from doctors, OB/GYN's, professors of gynecology, of all political stripes, even Christian doctors who are saying that Akin's comments were possibly the stupidest thing they've ever heard.
There is no medical/biological backing for his comments, he made the same mistake many pro-lifers do by buying into the writings of Willke or some other quack doctor who made various statements that were never scientifically backed.

I think many people are underestimating the ridiculousness of what Akin said, especially the latter part of "the woman's body has a way to shut that whole thing down."

You can’t even get the quote correct.,

“It seems to me, from what I understand from doctors, that’s really rare,” Akin told KTVI-TV. “If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down...”
