Would someone please post a link to where a rape led to a pregnancy. If I’m correct it takes many hours for the sperm to reach and burrow into the egg and a few days for the fertilized egg to attach to the uterine lining.

The medical definition of the start of pregnancy is about 10 days later, at implantation.

If it takes a person 10 days to seek medical treatment or aid after a rape then I don’t have a lot of compassion for the victim. I have more compassion for the developing child.

Many victims are traumatized and humiliated by the crime and some are even threatened with further bodily harm if they seek help. There is a reason that so many women, girls (and men) don’t report their assaults and it’s not because they are indifferent to what happened.
