"It was wrong. It was scientifically incorrect. And..above all...it was repugnant. And I too am a woman. One does not have to look far to see why the democrats get the women’s vote. I would not vote for Akin in a million years. He is amazingly ignorant."

Are you a doctor or medical reseacher? If not what are you basing this on?

What exactly is repugnant about his statement?

Why do women vote for democrats? I can't think of a single legitimate reason to vote for a Democrat, ever.

We've had several doctors chime in, there's doctors on this site, not to mention doctors that have chimed in on all the different media, choose whichever one you trust most and there will be a doctor saying that this guy is absolutely full of #$^&.

"If a woman’s ovaries have already released an egg, she’s just as likely to get pregnant from a rape as she would be from a voluntary encounter,” Dr. Barbara Levy, vice president for health policy at the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, told NBC News. “From the biological standpoint, a woman is at risk for pregnancy if she’s at a vulnerable point in her menstrual cycle when the rape occurs.”

There is no magic protection against pregnancy from rape, period. That's a scientific fact at this point, the only people who dispute it are the ones who still wonder if the earth is actually flat.
