No antibody here, but a statistical effort that makes it nearly impossible to be pregnant from a ‘forcible’ rape.

Complete with three footnotes that are probably being scrutinized right now for more ammo.

All that means is that the percentage incidences of pregnancy occurring as the result of rape are about the same as the percentage incidences of pregnancy from consensual intercourse. It not only doesn’t prove Akins point, it demolishes it.
