Well, Akin's statement was foolish and I don't know of any hard science that backs it, but if you look at the original quote from Akin, he did not say that a woman must not have really been raped if she gets pregnant. Here is what he actually said when asked if abortion should be legal in the case of rape:
“It seems to me, from what I understand from doctors, that’s really rare,” Akin told KTVI-TV. “If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down. But let’s assume that maybe that didn’t work or something: I think there should be some punishment, but the punishment ought to be of the rapist, and not attacking the child.”
From the above quote, you can see that Akin did not say that all or even most rape victims will not get pregnant. He said it's rare for pregnancies to occur in rape. That is why Akin says at the end of the quote that the rapist should be punished for the rape not the baby who was conceived in rape. The fact that he mentions that a baby is conceived in rape implies that the mother can and does conceive when a rape occurs, but that the baby should not be punished for this. So how did Akin say that a woman must not have been raped if she is pregnant? He didn't, but the democrats/liberal media seem eager to exploit this gaffe for political purposes.
Now, do I believe the state should protect life from conception? No, I do not.
It sounds like you are admitting that life begins at conception, but are arguing that not all human life should be protected by the state. That doesn't make sense to me. If it's a human life from conception, then how can you morally terminate it without committing murder of an innocent person? If life does begin at conception would it be morally permissible for the government to turn a blind eye to murder?
“So how did Akin say that a woman must not have been raped if she is pregnant? He didn’t, but the democrats/liberal media seem eager to exploit this gaffe for political purposes.”
Its the inference to illegitimate rape, and the inference, is crystal clear, or this would have blown over a long time ago.
He said what he truly believed. Its just the fact of the matter.
