“Pregnancy may result from rape. The rate varies between settings and depends particularly on the extent to which non-barrier contraceptives are being used. A study of adolescents in Ethiopia found that among those who reported being raped, 17% became pregnant after the rape,[3] a figure which is similar to the 15–18% reported by rape crisis centres in Mexico.[4][5]

A longitudinal study in the United States of over 4000 women followed for 3 years found that the national rape related pregnancy rate was 5.0% per rape among victims aged 12–45 years, producing over 32 000 pregnancies nationally among women from rape each year.[6]”

You can’t just say “Rape”, you have to define it.

Is it “RAPE” Rape, or stranger rape, as defined by Whoopi Goldberg while defending Roman Polanski’s pedophelia?

Is it Marital rape?

is it consensual Statutory rape? (Not really “Rape” rape, per Whoppi Goldberg and the media defending Roman Polanski.
