None of what you said has any basis in science. Women can get aroused during a rape, women can also orgasm during rape. These natural physiological reactions lead to feelings of guilt and even further trauma in those who were raped but do not make the rape any less “legitimate.”
I propose that from here on out, male politicians simply stop discussing the female body in general, it comes back to bite them almost every single time, especially Republicans.

i think Akin should be replaced, for the crime of being inarticulate.
but, PhxTM06, is much worse.
Kleon’s comment absolutely has a basis in science.
so why, is PhxTM06, ridiculing even recognized science fact?
...LOOK at his posting history!
he seems to have only ONE strong interest, out of ALL the fascinating discussions here at FR.
and he quotes liberal sources, and questionable studies.
(seriously, a 5% chance of pregnancy in a rape?
MANY couples in a loving relationship, wish for so high a chance.
and, the fact is, that the rape statistics are vastly inflated, even according to an FBI report.
(yet, instead of correcting for this, PhxTM06 quotes a study that arbitrarily DOUBLES the number of rapes)
...the idea a woman who is pregnant, might claim rape,
is impossible?
and the stress of a forcible rape, instead of a falsely reported rape, could certainly result in a miscarriage.
-
...Akin clearly is not up to the job, of communicating, in a liberal controlled media. He SHOULD step down.

rape is a real problem. but so is false accusations.
And I have no objection, to a woman having an abortion,
after being raped.
but, the number of false rape accusations, is a LOT higher, than the pregnancy rate, from actual forcible rapes.
...and we need to be able to honestly discuss such issues, without PhxTM06 ridiculing people here who disagree with him.
(and, i would be happy to listen to HIM bring out a doctor who will state, for the record, that a woman can get aroused and have an orgasm, in a forcable rape!)
