This is pretty amazing...
But the Republicans are generally pretty clueless on this - I like the term "voodoo vaginomics"
consider this quote by Mr Akin
“What you want to do is optimize life. You try to save the mother’s life. You try to save the child. There’s certain things like you get a tubal pregnancy where the child has absolutely no chance of surviving and then you do the best you can to save the mother’s life. I think you optimize life is the way I would probably describe it.”
Watch the video..
A complete disrespect for women and showing his questionable morality and lack of character.
Given how many teenage girls having unprotected sex got pregnant in my high school years -- despite condoms with some of them, actually -- I suspect that the 5% to 6.4% risk rate of pregnancy from rape is probably pretty similar to the pregnancy rate for unprotected sex per each individual time having sex with consenting female and male partners. Someone should find and run those numbers. (The reason the overall numbers will be higher for those having consenting unprotected sex is because there are many encounters, not just one, so the rate per encounter is the important number.)
The myth that a woman who does not enjoy sex does not get pregnant is a very old one, and I suspect begun and particularly embraced by men who are bad in the sack.
