A woman's body doesn't "shut down". It actually goes into overdrive!

stress hormones miscarriage cortisol

A pregnant woman under stress, and having a baby from an act of rape has to be (I'm not a woman so that's opinion) stressful on a woman, produces higher levels of cortisol which increases the risk of miscarriage.

Simply looking into this a little bit would reduce a lot of this mistaken commentary.

Would you like to dance with me on the science?

“which increases the risk of miscarriage. “

You do understand that pregnancy generally comes before a miscarriage......or how do things work in your world?

Also, if you looked a little deeper, you’d find that studies show that about 10-15% of pregnancies due to rape result in a miscarriage.

Ever read about what happened in Berlin in the spring of ‘46? A lot of German women were having Russian babies. Guess they must not have read your study before they were raped.
