Medical literature has been saying that for a long, long time.

If a woman is raped within the day or two AFTER she’s already ovulated, the stress of the rape could not prevent ovulation. So that, by itself, would explain how a person could say that the body tries to shut down the process of conception and yet it doesn’t always work - all without implicating that the woman’s desires or feelings have anything to do with it. It’s the stress hormones that do it without her intentions whatsoever.

The idea of stress impacting fertility is not a real novel, controversial issue.

Maybe everybody is trying to say the connection between rape and fertility is controversial because rape doesn’t cause stress... seems like THAT would really be poo-poohing the pain inflicted through forcible rape.

Just one reply yesterday by me...
He is talking about a physiological response or reaction of which a woman has no control. Your body automatically responds in many ways to many things.

People not knowing about it in advance of this controversy seems to be the new issue.
Nobody likes to have what "they know" crushed under foot for the foolishness it is.
