...I was mistaken about the fact of female anatomy.
But he wasn't mistaken. See reply 59.

The argument is being framed in a deceptive manner to make it seem as if he said something he didn't.

He never said a woman can control ovulation, fertilization, or implantation of a fertilized egg. They were talking about an abortion and you can't get an abortion, or have a spontaneous abortion, unless you're already pregnant.

And spontaneous abortion does happen and it would be in line with what he was actually saying when he continued to speak about "ways to try to shut that whole thing down."

You can't let the argument get framed into something it isn't.

I agree with you. It is a well known medical fact that stress and trauma may prevent a women from becoming pregnant, Note I said may not WILL. What can be more stressful and traumatic than being raped?

That being said, Akin could right the ship if the Republican would stop swamping the boat and helped to bail.

I hate the term "spontaneous abortion". I'm much more used to miscarriage.
What a drag it is getting old.
