No they don’t. People have posted up random kooky sources from those with no backgrounds in medicine or articles that they didn’t understand. Pregnancy can be rare even in the best of circumstances, on the time of the month..etc, however the one debate that some people still insist on having is that there’s some magic feature that will protect an already ovulating woman who is raped from becoming pregnant.
The evidence simply doesn’t exist. Rape does lead to pregnancy. Is if often? No, but often enough that there’s 20,000 women+ in this country who annually wind up pregnant as a result of rape.
There is no magic female “shut-off” option for the reproductive system when she is being raped, the vagina will often still secrete lubricants, the interior vagina will enlarge, women can even have an orgasm while being raped, which is something that heightens trauma and lead’s to tremendous “survivor’s guilt.”
People are desperate to prove this guy correct, when he simply said something so stupid, that it can’t be defended.
And what have YOU posted??? Where is YOUR proof of what you keep cramming down everyone’s throat here on this thread? Your ego is astounding in it’s large emptiness.
PROVE your point. Others have posted documents that show the body changes under stress which leads many to believe changes happen during rape.
Where is your proof Mr. Know it all?
No, but often enough that there’s 20,000 women+ in this country who annually wind up pregnant as a result of rape.
Would you please provide a citation?
The FBI stats say that the number of forcible rapes in the US for the most recent complete year is about 84,000. For 20,000+ of those to result in pregnancy is a rather astounding conception rate. Here's my citation: http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/crime-in-the-u.s/2010/crime-in-the-u.s.-2010/tables/10tbl01.xls
What he has said is errant nonsense, and those trying to defend him on the basis of "science" look as stupid as he does. But I don't believe there are 20,000+ pregnancies in the US per year as a result of rape.
