I sincerely hope you're joking.

Sadly no. It's a belief that goes as far back as medieval times, when people believed that in order for conception to occur, a woman must orgasm. So if a pregnancy occurred, the woman must've orgasmed, so it couldn't have been rape.

Akin and people like him are scum. Unfortunately, their "reasoning" appeals to a lot of people who don't know much about science or women's bodies and are easily tricked with pseudoscientific nonsense. They won't verify it for themselves either because they're not really interested in the facts, they just want to justify their horrendous beliefs.

...seriously???

/loses another shred of faith in humanity

I mean that's provably wrong on TWO completely separate levels. REALLY wrong

(I would also like to add that I think on some level it's wishful thinking - not really active virulent anti-woman hate but just thinking "man this whole abortion thing would be so much cleaner and neater if conception via rape wasn't a thing" so they stick their heads in the sand)

What's worse is that this issue came up in the battle over funding Planned Parenthood. Religious conservatives want to cut funding because they view it as taxpayer money paying for abortions, even though federal money is not permitted to be used for abortions and PP provides a wide range of healthcare including breast exams, birth control, etc. Yet there's that pesky question of whether or not rape victims should be allowed abortions... So a certain segment of conservatives decided that well, rape victims wouldn't need abortions because they don't get pregnant, therefore any woman who wants an abortion isn't a victim, she's a slut and therefore doesn't deserve healthcare OR an abortion.

It's a seriously horrible debate, and sadly, conservatives are winning. Planned Parenthood has taken a huge hit, and all over the country clinics who do abortions are being shut down.

:(

You don't even really have to be a big fan of abortion to see how silly all that is. It's just awful and it cuts off so much good care and it's so ridiculously misogynistic.
