请帮忙翻译下面这段英文：
This week, a Republican lawmaker’s comments pushed the debate about abortion to the center of the election campaign. Missouri Congressman Todd Akin is a candidate for the United States Senate. A reporter asked him to explain his opposition to the operation, even in cases of rape. Mr. Akin said it was his understanding from doctors that rape victims rarely get pregnant. He said that, in the case of what he called “legitimate rape,” the female body has ways to stop a pregnancy. And he said the rapist should be punished, not the child resulting from the attack.

本周,一名共和党议员的言论将堕胎争议推到竞选运动的风口浪尖上.Todd Akin,密苏里州众议员,美国参议院候选人.当一名记者征询他“即时在强奸的情况下也不得堕胎”的理由时,Akin先生说到,据他从医生那里了解所知,强奸案件很少会导致怀孕,即使在他称之为“合法强奸”的情况下,女性自身也有很多种方式可以避孕.他还认为,要惩罚的是强奸犯,而非强奸后诞生的孩子.
