Another guy who doesn’t comprehend what the article states.

You must be referring to yourself.

Article talks about chronic, long term stress having a negative impact on reproduction

Did you not understand the word "acutely"???

The article deals with chronic and acute stress.

And stress due to rape is acute stress, isn't it?

Read it again:

"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"

"It's very adaptive to not be wasting resources on reproduction during times of acute stress, to just shut down reproduction for 24 hours or so until the stress is gone," said co-author Daniela Kaufer, a UC Berkeley assistant professor of integrative biology who looks at how stress affects molecular processes in the brain."

Fool runs with it, claiming it is not relevant to acute stress from rape. Other fools join in and act like...well fools.

They sure do.

Okay, let me try this once more. This.Is.Of.No.Help.To.A.Woman.Who.Is.Already.Ovulating. “If a woman’s ovaries have already released an egg, she’s just as likely to get pregnant from a rape as she would be from a voluntary encounter,” Dr. Barbara Levy, vice president for health policy at the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, told NBC News. “From the biological standpoint, a woman is at risk for pregnancy if she’s at a vulnerable point in her menstrual cycle when the rape occurs.”
