Oh, no, it backfired! All that hype for nothing.

I'll even grant you the point that he is wrong, but name me one politician who isn't wrong about 1 or more views they hold. Don't even mention Joe Biden, there isn't enough bandwidth.
Go Aiken!
Cortisol and Stress: How to Stay Healthy By Elizabeth Scott, M.S.
Although stress isn’t the only reason that cortisol is secreted into the bloodstream, it has been termed “the stress hormone” because it’s also secreted in higher levels during the body’s ‘fight or flight’ response to stress, and is responsible for several stress-related changes in the body.
Stress: Constant stress puts your health at risk
The long-term activation of the stress-response system — and the subsequent overexposure to cortisol and other stress hormones — can disrupt almost all your body's processes.
Elevated cortisol from stress after the rape can be how a woman prevents herself from becoming pregnant.
How hard is this to grasp?!
So your 'fight or flight' mechanism is reduced when you're stressed out all of the time.
No wonder liberals want us all worried all of the time.
If we're "stressed out" all of the time we won't fight back as we naturally would.
That's been my standard for decades.
Can you help me out?

The sounds you hear coming from the direction of the liberals are not the sounds of craziness...they’re the sounds of unconstrained GLEE.
And the other sounds you hear are that of echos from the Akin residual supporters. The Akin campaign is having various “services” sending out emails soliciting donations (I received 3 of them just yesterday —”please, just $5” will help) for donations and is set up to receive those donations. However, just try to communicate with his campaign through the source of those email solicitations (undeliverable message alerts come back) or through his website (”this site is no longer accepting emails” messages come back).

Oh, it’s you again. I see that you’re continuing your jihad against those Republicans defeating Obama.

Oh, it’s you again. I see that you’re continuing your jihad against those Republicans attempting to defeat Obama.
I see you've still got nothing again.
Stranger things have happened...look who got the GOP nomination!
How exactly do you derive that number from the total number of rapes?
Only liberals defend their fellow party members no matter what they do. What Akin said was indefensible and no conservative with principles should defend him.
Rape victim says:
“I was forcibly raped in 2001. It happened while I was ovulating. I was scared to death that I would become pregnant. When I asked the physician what my chances of being pregnant, he handed me a AMA journal that highlighted a study done in 1999. That study was done concerning all the reported rape cases in Minnesota. Not a single case resulted in a pregnancy. I also did not get pregnant, and thankfully I didn’t get an STD either.
I now work in a rape recovery center in a major city. I have met with women who claim to have gotten pregnant while raped. These women tend to be 16 or 17 year old girls with their parents standing over them. When I get them alone and they open up, all of them said the sex was consensual. They were going through the motions because they didn’t want to upset their parents. In the last 6 years, I have never seen a true rape case result in pregnancy.”

You are right about what you said. Exactly right.
Senator. Just ask John Ashcroft.
Akin is a solidly conservative candidate who has an unfortunate habit of trying to explain his positions using the worst possible verbiage. This flap about rape is only the latest incident. The only question about his candidacy is what is he going to say next? And how many commercials will McCaskill get out of it?
Thank you for “Rape Pregnancies are Rare.” Very similar to the info available during the Roe v. Wade debates. Still, I wonder if stats haven’t changed since the onslaught of the sexual revolution. The trauma for a virgin has to be significantly different from the trauma of a Sandra Fluck.
You know, what about holier than thou conservatives such as Akin, who mess up big and make excuses for their mess ups.
i guess you don't believe in accountability.
This line of argument is plainly incorrect. There is both historical evidence of wide scale rapes during time of war resulting in pregnancies and evidence today of forcible rapes causing pregnancies. Period.
Arguing otherwise requires a truly liberalesque level of denial.
Sure would be nice if they'd be more pissed off in Florida. Bill Nelson is wiping the floor with Connie Mack down there.
