The “morning-after pill” has 2 mechanisms to prevent pregnancy: suppress ovulation or alter the uterine lining so it will not allow the conceived child to implant. The former is contraception; the latter is abortion. The contraceptive part only applies if the woman hasn’t ovulated by the time she is raped. That’s about half of the times when a pregnancy could occur from rape.
If fight-or-flight chemicals in the body were able to suppress ovulation for a day or two, that would be the same contraceptive effect as the morning-after-pill, which is so touted as necessary by the pro-aborts.
Some studies have shown that extreme stress affects implantation.
If adrenaline has a natural effect on implantation, then the stress of violent rape could well be just as effective as the “morning-after pill” - which actually has a very poor effectiveness rate, when you consider that only a few days out of the month are fertile. If 1/10th of the month is fertile (3 days out of 30) and 10% of the people who use the morning-after pill get pregnant, that would mean it had roughly a 100% failure rate (if nobody kept track of whether the days were fertile or not but just went with general numbers - and as far as I could tell from the morning-after pill numbers when I looked at them a long time ago, they didn’t distinguish whether the days were fertile or not). Only half of those times would involve the CONTRACEPTIVE effect rather than the abortive effect, so if you had 5% pregnancy rate that could reflect 100% failure of the contraceptive effect.
Do the fight-or-flight chemicals have these effects? I don’t know. Chemicals can be very powerful.
I wonder what the pregnancy rate is for forcible rape, compared with the pregnancy rate following the use of the morning-after pill.
Could put a whole different perspective on this whole thing.
I was called an idiot here for even considering that there might be an autonomic response to stress/fear that might make conception less likely.
I was thinking of adrenaline, and also auditory exclusion and how it may prevent hearing damage in self-defense shootings.
I am still waiting to hear the explanation of how considering these very real phenomena, and the possibility one might occur during a rape, makes me insulting and offensive to women.
Seems if getting pregnant was only a matter of being inseminated, there would be a lot less FERTILITY CLINICS in operation.
Although I know very little about pregnancy or exactly what enables or disables it, most people seem to know less than me.
You are the exception.
