That hardly supports the “Fable of the Magic Uterus” theory of Todd Akin.
You just supported the fact that a woman is just as likely to be impregnated by rape as any other sexual encounter. That is not what Akin said. He said women have a magic uterus that will not allow her to become pregnant when raped.

present such a theory?
His statement was about abortion and that only happens
after the woman becomes pregnant.
Raised Cortisol Predicts Spontaneous Abortion

That may be what you THINK he said, but it is NOT what he actually said.
