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.

Where did he ever present such a theory?
His statement was about abortion and that only happens after the woman becomes pregnant.

Raised Cortisol Predicts Spontaneous Abortion
High urinary levels of the stress hormone cortisol are a marker for early pregnancy loss, US researchers have found.

Do you contend that spontaneous abortions don't happen?

Sure I did. Probability went down from 3-5% to 2-4%. That’s a 25-33% drop.

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