One of the major sources for Todd Akin's claim that a woman's body somehow prevents pregnancy from rape appears to be Dr. John Willke , a prominent anti-abortion general practitioner. He also has views on slavery, teen pregnancy, and a Dutch euthanasia epidemic that the lamestream media is too scared to tell you about.

Doctors who perform abortions will also let babies die in the delivery room.
In one of his Life Jewels, one-minute radio broadcasts on abortion and other issues, (this one titled "Your Doctor, An Abortionist?") Willke said:
Most abortionists ply their grisly trade full time. But some also maintain a private practice.
All women have a right to know if their doctor does abortions. Do you really think that doctor is going to have the dedication and put forth the needed effort to save the life of your child at delivery — if that same day he's being paid to kill some other woman's baby?
Teen pregnancy may be safer than adult pregnancy.
Willke said that "a teenage girl, bearing and delivering a child, should have no more physical complications than a more mature woman," and "in fact, the odds for a normal delivery might even be more favorable." He added, "If the girl's body is mature enough to great pregnant, her body is mature enough to carry a baby to term and deliver normally."
The NIH says teen mothers are at higher risk than older moms of premature delivery, low birth weight, and pregnancy-induced hypertension.
