The statement is beyond stupid. When someone says something so scientifically ludicrous they better have scientific proof to back it up. You don’t ask others to prove you wrong and when they don’t then assume what you said is a scientific fact.

No it isn’t a stupid statement at all. You’re being ignorant by dismissing a scientific opinion without even considering it, sort of like those people who refused to believe the earth was round. Just Google for the info on this before you claim it’s false. He never claimed it was an absolute fact, he simply said this is what he understands doctors have said, and the same info from doctors is out there on the web.

Pregancy from rape is rare

THIS MAY BE BECAUSE:

Many women are infertile at the time they are raped - they may be in the infertile phase of their monthly cycle, too old or too young to conceive

Trauma from the rape may bring into play some natural defence mechanisms that reduce the likelihood of pregnancy, such as hormonal change and spasms of the fallopian tubes which inhibit ovulation or fertilisation

Rape does not always involve a complete act of sexual intercourse - ejaculation may not occur - or the rapist may be infertile

The chance of conception resulting from a single act of unprotected intercourse even between consenting fertile individuals has been estimated at only 2 to 4%
