<> your fraud science doesn’t work anywhere.<>

Is this the fraud science that you are talking about:

Do you even understand what this is telling you? I love it when people post articles beyond their own comprehension. Nobody has denied that stress can inhibit many things, however, we’re talking about long-term suppression of hormonal activity vs a short term momentary event.

If a woman is raped, the event is sudden and instant, if she’s a fertile time in her cycle, meaning she’s ALREADY OVULATING(whereas the article states that stress can prevent it, but not if its already going on), she will very likely get pregnant if the rapist ejaculates inside her.

From your article.

“In humans, CHRONIC stress can lead to a drop in sex drive as well as a drop in fertility.”

Unless a woman is getting raped on a daily basis, the point you were trying to make is meaningless, you should really read your own source material before going for a “gotcha.”

Thanks for posting this link. This is just basic common sense, not pie in the sky science.

"Scientists know that stress boosts levels of stress hormones - glucocorticoids such as cortisol - that inhibit the body's main sex hormone, gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH), and subsequently suppresses sperm count, ovulation and sexual activity."

No help there for a woman who has already ovulated.

"In humans, chronic stress can lead to a drop in sex drive as well as a drop in fertility. [...] Kirby showed that acutely stressed rats showed increased RFRP levels for several hours, but that levels returned to normal by the next day. Chronically stressed rats, however, were left with longer-term elevations of RFRP levels in the dorsomedial hypothalamus area of the brain, and suppression of activity in the reproductive axis - the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal hormone cascade"

The stress due to rape is not chronic stress.

Is this the fraud science that you are talking about:...

...very good, uncle chip...except for the fact that stress inhibiting reproduction has nothing to do with a woman who may already be ovulating and then gets raped...stress has absolutely nothing to do with that scenario, it may work to prevent a woman from ovulating, but unless the woman getting raped were stressed prior to being raped, ovulation would not be affected by the obvious stress from the rape...
...actually, the another poster’s point about increased miscarriage was much better than this stuff you bring, at least he had his bilogical timing down....
