Friends, there has recently been a stunning scientific revelation, one that has far reaching ramifications in terms of how we deal with allegations of rape and how "rape victims" are treated:


Republican Senate Nominee: Victims Of ‘Legitimate Rape’ Don’t Get Pregnant

Rep. Todd Akin, the Republican nominee for Senate in Missouri who is running against Sen. Claire McCaskill, justified his opposition to abortion rights even in case of rape with a claim that victims of “legitimate rape” have unnamed biological defenses that prevent pregnancy.

“First of all, from what I understand from doctors [pregnancy from rape] is really rare,” Akin told KTVI-TV in an interview posted Sunday. “If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.”

Akin said that even in the worst-case scenario — when the supposed natural protections against unwanted pregnancy fail — abortion should still not be a legal option for the rape victim...

First of all, the thing which immediately springs to mind is that this is good news for some of those millions and millions of men who are wrongfully accused of rape every day. Obviously, in any case where the "rape" resulted in a pregnancy, the woman's body clearly didn't feel like it was being raped, as it failed to implement these biological protections against pregnancy.

I think there are a lot of men currently rotting in jail based on rape convictions who need to have their cases reopened as soon as possible!

Now then, what about those women who went and got themselves legitimately raped and therefore failed to carry a pregnancy to term? Some might make an argument that they have no control over their bodies' natural "defenses," but I ask you, isn't pregnancy always a gift of life from God? Who ever heard of defending yourself against a gift?

Psalm 127:3

Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.

I think we need to take a long, hard look at whether these rape victims are guilty of murdering their unborn children!

[Whip of Japheth]

Great news, no doubt.

But sad days if you need to say unnamed biological defenses instead the God's Wishes.

[Faith_Machine]

I can't imagine God would very often wish for an unborn child to die. I suspect these unnamed biological defenses probably have something to do with Eve's original sin.

[Ezekiel Bathfire]

There seems to be a lot of confusion here

A woman who is raped has obviously provoked a man beyond reason. She probably became 'broody' - women do this - or she was drunk or wearing the clothes of a harlot.

Her eternal puinishment is to see the face of the rapist in the child she bore. Only in this way will these women learn to behave themselves.

If you are in Missouri, vote Rep. Todd Akin for justice and God's Law.

[James Hutchins]

This is great news. It means there will/should be many less little bastards running around. It further confirms common knowledge that all unwed mothers are harlots.

I'm thankful that some wisdom is seeping through the cracks of our Neo-Stalinist 5th Estate. May the praiseworthy Congressman become a Senator with ease and grace, if not Vice President, which he is worthy of as well. If the act bears the fruit of children, it is not comparable to real rape, like the violent nauseation that Demoncrats are guilty of committing against Âmerica.
