No they haven’t. I work in the medical field and I can tell you there’s not a single legitimate source that will back up his quackery. It has no basis in scientific fact, studies have repeatedly shown that women can and do get pregnant as a consequence of rape. What he said is so backwards and completely illogical that it boggles the mind at the sort of stupidity that can emerge from someone’s mouth.

Why does every fertility clinic urge patients trying to get pregnant to reduce stress and create a loving and relaxed environment to make love? I know of women who have been advised to quit their stressful jobs to help them get pregnant.
To say that the mental and physical condition of a woman's body does not affect her fertility is wrong. Just ask a woman runner/athlete who while in training stops menstruating.

He didn't say they didn't. He said it was "unlikely". Would 5% be considered "unlikely"??? It is subjective as to whether it would or not.
