I know why Todd Akin believes that women do not get pregnant from actual rape: There are too many sexual activities, rapes and mysterious miscarriages in conservative circles that the rapists have come to assume no harm was done to their rape victims.
In one Summer in my Charismatic & Southern Baptist community, there were 5 pregnant unmarried girls and mostly from date rapes: 3 of 5 pregnant girls had mysterious miscarriages, 1 outright aborted and the poor girl had the baby. Only 1 of the 5 incidents was reported - and only reported to the Church because the rapist was the son of a prominent Church personality.
I think Todd Akin is simply informing you that rapes by his kind are rarely reported and their victims often have mysterious "miscarriages."
No woman should have to reward her rapist with an offspring. Please ladies:
If you are raped, report the rape and visit a Hospital for an emergency contraception. There will be no need for an abortion if you visit a Hostipal for an emergency contraception, or visit Planned Parenthood for assistance (if you must).
I am aware that some people are attempting to stop emergency contraception from being given in Hostipals, and I am also aware States such as my Texas are terminating funding to entities such as Planned Parenthood.
Federal funding for Planned Parenthood would not be necessary were rape victims to simply report their ordeals and have their rapists prosecuted. You see, because most rapes are by conservatives, Planned Parenthood and its likes have nothing to worry about:
Simply encourage rape victims to report rapes and the likes of Texas will re-instate fundings. Got it?

The Importance of Cervical Mucus in Getting Pregnant
The role of the cervical mucus is to nourish, protect, and speed the sperm on its way up through the uterus and into the Fallopian tubes so that it can fertilize the egg and help you in getting pregnant.
Female orgasm that occurs close to the time of ejaculation, or after ejaculation, has also been found to slightly increase conception rates.
So if you have any understanding of conception/cervical mucus and sexual gratification then maybe you can understand what Akin was getting at.
That when violent, physical forced sex occurs there is less chance for sexual enjoyment one would assume!
If there is less sexual enjoyment, there is most likely less cervical mucus.
Less cervical mucus makes a LESS nourishing, protective environment for sperm transport.
Hence Akin's observation that a true physical forced violent rape versus a next day DATE rape charge would be less chance of pregnancy.
BUT this I'm sure will be going over many people's heads! They just don't intelligently understand conception, exactly what Akin WAS SAYING inelegantly and clumsily! That was totally misunderstood JUST AS THIS ExPLANATION will be misunderstood by most of you that haven't the intelligence to comprehend the granular distinction Akin was describing!
