There's a rejection of his words, not his philosophy. See the medieval Ryan Akin forcible rape bill. Akin is not the only GOP intellectual to postulate the anti-conception hormone.. Akin certainly has a claim, what with the "eww, lady parts, I don't even want to think about it" vagueness of his claim that women's bodies "shut that whole thing down," and he's probably the most prominent politician to make this kind of argument. But he has fierce competition from Pennsylvania state Rep. Stephen Freind, who claimed that raped women "secrete a certain secretion which has the tendency to kill sperm," as well as North Carolina state Rep. Henry Aldridge, who said that "The facts show that people who are raped – truly raped – the juices don’t flow."
