Not true.

I don’t believe abortion is the appropriate response to a rape induced pregnancy (I think it just adds an additional victim) but I still think what Akin said is extremely offensive and factually WRONG.

His statement implies that a woman who is pregnant from rape but whose body does not spontaneously abort (miscarry) wasn’t “legitimately” raped. That’s just whacked.

I don’t think anyone honestly believes that he was implying that.

No, his statement did not "imply" that.

Your own mind inferred it. There's a difference.
