The only open question that was not answered by this article is this —

“Are you going to force the woman to take carea nd raise the baby she was FORCED to have?”

If not, how do you propose to solve this problem?

[dps.inspect]

If only he had a do-over... HE DOESN”T, GET USED TO DISAPPOINTMENT...He’s a donkey’s ass, and there ain’t no changing it...

[stuartcr]

Especially if she doesn’t have or make enough money to support the child.

[Dallas59]

Should’ve, could’ve, would’ve.....it doesn’t matter. He swallowed his foot on this one.

[DrewsMum]

Easy. No. There’s always Adoption.

[zeugma]

I'm not sure exactly how biologically ignorant the Senator actually is. He might not be aware of the details, but perhaps his notions should be given a bit more credance.

Here are two articles posted to FR recently.

Stress signal causes abnormal implantation location and pregnancy loss

 and

Stress Puts Double Whammy On Reproductive System, Fertility

 

Now, unless one is willing to say that rape is not stressful, then perhaps the body does have a natural defence against it.

While I don't particularly care about the senator in question because I don't know anything about him to speak of, I might just start spamming this information to relevant threads. He may will be an idiot, but he could be right as well.

[Mrs. Don-o]

There are literally thousands of married couples in the United States who would adopt a baby who was conceived by in an assault situation, My husband and I knew a grad student at Vanderbilt who was pregnant from rape who had muliple offers for adoption. (Add yes, she had the baby. She and a strong sense of justice and did not believe in victimizing her own innocen child.)

[Cicero]

No, there is nothing wrong with adoption, if the mother feels that keeping the baby would remind her of the rape.

Not only that, but there are tons of people looking for babies to adopt, and they are scarce in these days of frequent abortions.

[Derp Mountain]

He should have said... if you were such a slut in the first place, should have been on birth control anyway.

Go to Massachusets and get on welfare.

Otherwise, get ready for the reckoning day when real conservatives get elected.

[SeminoleCounty]

So...lets bring in the Third Place candidate in the primary...and run her as a Third Party? That way Akin’s detractors can really help out McCaskill

[SeekAndFind]

RE: He should have said... if you were such a slut in the first place, should have been on birth control anyway.

Go to Massachusets and get on welfare.

Even with constant stress the majority did not miscarry. 30000 pregnancies a year result from rape and half are aborted, accounting for one percent of abortions. Eleven percent miscarry.

But go ahead and pretend they don’t exist or try telling the victims that their rape wasn’t really THAT stressful if you think doing so serves some purpose.

[dps.inspect]

is this about defeating McCaskill... o geez, i thought this was about somone who once had a chance of doing just that but blew it and is now running 10 points behind... you think it’s my fault or something? If jackass stays in or if he leaves we are likely to loose to McCaskill... you want to instill hope? talk your boy into leaving tomorrow...

This is a discussion we need to have. You can’t be a fiscal conservative and pro-choice. Social costs will destroy the budget.

Pray for America

[pistolpackinpapa]

What Todd Akin should have said was: “I better not answer that; I’m an ignorant mother effer and I don’t have enough sense to answer that question intelligently and I will cause the GOP to lose the MO Senate seat and hurt my party and this nation. So, don’t effin’ ask me, dude.”

and stress cause obesity and acne.
so if you want to see a rape victim , find a fat lady with zits and no kids.
Also because of stress and only fake orgasms, hookers don’t get pregnant.

[Mrs. Don-o]

As I understand it, the big majority in foster care or institutional care are children whose parents are living and whose parental rights have not been terminated. These children are not available for adoption.

For those who are available for adoption, most of them are in the hard-to-place category, That means that they may be

• Older than toddler;
• physically or mentally handicapped
• members of sibling groups who would have to be adopted as a group
• victims of abuse who have emotional or psychiatric issues, e.g. drug addicted.

Newborn infants of any race, color or nationality (and almost any condition) are very readily adoptable. It's much harder to find permanent adoptive homes for older kids with multiple issues, especially behavior/emotional problems or juvenile criminal records.
