Akin’s point that in the case of an “actual forcible rape” pregnancy rarely occurs is supported not only by the nationally known Dr. Jack Willke but also by the popular website, WEB MD, which states: “While doctors may not know the exact links between stress and fertility, a series of studies shows the impact is hard to ignore. In research published in the journal Human Reproduction, doctors compared pregnancy rates in couples that reported being stressed and those who were not. What they found: Pregnancy was much more likely to occur during months when couples reported feeling ‘good’ — happy and relaxed. It was less likely to occur during the months they reported feeling tense or anxious.”
So there you go shithead. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
The recent studies showing that rape victims have a 5% or greater chance of pregnancy are flawed because they don’t actually vet/verify that the woman is being truthful when she says she was raped.
Some doctors who’ve been studying this for years believe the data they’ve seen suggests that 1% of real rapes result in pregnancies….
So like I said, there’s a debate to be had. But because this is political issue that little beta males like you get all feminine and clutch their pearls about, it’s difficult to discuss and get to the truth.
Willke was a proponent of the concept that female rape victims have physiologic defenses against pregnancy, and thus that women rarely become pregnant after a sexual assault. Willke wrote in Christian Life Resources in 1999: “There’s no greater emotional trauma that can be experienced by a woman than an assault rape. This can radically upset her possibility of ovulation, fertilization, implantation and even nurturing of a pregnancy”. Willke claimed that for what he called “forcible rape” or “assault rape” (which Willke defined as separate from statutory rape) pregnancy is rare, resulting in only approximately four pregnancies per state per year.[1][9] Research published in the Journal of American Obstetrics and Gynecology concluded rape “is a cause of many unwanted pregnancies”. A separate study of 405 female rape victims of reproductive age found 6.4% became pregnant.[10][11]
In an interview on August 20, 2012, following the Todd Akin rape and pregnancy controversy, Willke said: “This is a traumatic thing—she’s, shall we say, she’s uptight. She is frightened, tight, and so on. And sperm, if deposited in her vagina, are less likely to be able to fertilize. The tubes are spastic.” Willke’s assertions were dismissed as false and outlandish by experts in obstetrics and gynecology.[12][13][14] The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists stated that rape victims had no control over whether they became pregnant, adding that “to suggest otherwise contradicts basic biological truths”.[14] Michael Greene, a professor of obstetrics, gynecology, and reproductive health at Harvard Medical School, dismissed Willke’s claims by saying: “There are no words for this—it is just nuts.”[12]
