I decided to Google a possible answer to the question of what percentage of ordinary unprotected sex acts result in pregnancy. Here is a link, and the statistical guess was 3 to 5% per time, so it would appear that raped women do NOT have some special protective shield.

Well my latest link debunks your notion. As it notes that the true number of rape pregnancies is lower than 1 %. Furthermore no one was talking about a “ protective shield” but rather that emotional stress plays a factor in “TRY[ING] [ note Akin said TRY ] to shut down that process”. I think we have made Akin’s statement a lot more absolutist than he intended & further his basic premise was fairly accurate as the true figures of rape pregnancies is far lower than what the left controlled media state. One’s emotional state affects ovulation & the body as a whole. Akin has a political tin ear but he was basically - for the most part - right.
