I don't care if he said "voluntarily" or not. If there's sperm and an egg, pregnancy is a possibility. Does this guy need to go back to "abstinence only" sex ed? Apparently he didn't even absorb that information.[/QUOTE
The argument he should have used is that abortion isn't necessary if one is raped since there's a morning-after pill.
I'd be willing to bet the farm that he doesn't believe in the morning after pill, either. What do you think?
What is it about right wing Republican males and their complete lack of valid information about the female body? First we had Limbaugh decryingthe terrible expense of birth control because a college coed was having "so much sex" - as if one needed more than a daily dosage of the pill regardless of how much sex one was having - and now its this bozo.
Give the GOP male ignorance of basic female anatomy, it is no wonder some are worried about them being an endangered species.
It also includes the western part of St. Louis county where a lot of middle- to upper middle-class suburban voters are - and I don't think it includes all of St Charles, just a piece of it and to the west.That part? His district encompasses St. Charles. Not exactly a backwater. Missouri is a swing state, Obama was barely defeated there in 08'. They have a Democrat Governor and Senator Claire McCaskill is a Democrat with a solid chance of winning re-election even if Obama loses. Akin made a moronic statement, no reason to tear down the entire state for it.
Missouri Republican claims ‘legitimate rape’ rarely results in pregnancy – CNN Political Ticker - CNN.com Blogs
I love the south. I love the Tea Party even more. Never ending humor.
Gotta hand it to Romney and the Republican party in general on this one. Romney launched a scathing attack on Akin for his remarks. What makes this remarkable is that Missouri is a state that Republicans absolutely have to win in order to have a chance at winning the Senate. Kudos to Romney for putting decency ahead of ideology and politics.
or Perhaps Mittens and others were just cognizant of the deadline to withdraw tomorrow and replace the bufoon with somebody who may have a chance in hell of winning one for their team? And in that case it is ideology and politics triumphing once again.
I thought that's what non-"legitimate" rape was for?If the right wing males can't figure out how to reproduce, they'll soon become an endangered species.
They may eventually have to be helped to have sex, like the pandas.
That buffoon has already won six elections.

Per how many acts of intercourse?For a healthy couple, your chances of getting pregnant in any one month is 25-30%, but it's also about timing.
I am so tired of crazys on both sides saying such ignorant, uninformed crap. What happened to logic and common sense??? People voted for this guy???
Six times so far.
Per how many acts of intercourse?
Those guys got off light then.And I believe that figure is the upper range for women 'trying' to get pregnant. They probably have intercourse close to once a day.
Oh man. No hope for the human race I guess.
Per how many acts of intercourse?
The human race will survive. It's the Congress I worry about.
That study didn't seem to differentiate between legitimate rape and illegitimate rape though--go figure.
“Being violently coerced into having sex was the worst thing that’s ever happened to me, so I take comfort in knowing it wasn’t actually rape,” Byars said of the vicious encounter in which she was accosted in an alleyway by a stranger, pinned to the ground, and penetrated against her will for 25 minutes.
Akin still claims he will not drop out.
That is not true. See above.
Rape triggers a stress response which is shown to lower the chances of regular ovulation, conception, and viable pregnancy.
I feel like it's insane I have to disclaim this, but given how people have responded thus far, I will: I am not defending the anti-choicer in the OP. I am defending scientific accuracy. It does not matter to me if the chances are lower. Women who are raped deserve access to abortion. Any woman deserves access to abortion. However, I will not abandon accuracy to make that point. I don't have to.
