Now, he should have said 'violent' rape, but used the wrong word.
The hysteria by the GOP is amazing.
No they don’t. People have posted up random kooky sources from those with no backgrounds in medicine or articles that they didn’t understand. Pregnancy can be rare even in the best of circumstances, on the time of the month..etc, however the one debate that some people still insist on having is that there’s some magic feature that will protect an already ovulating woman who is raped from becoming pregnant.
The evidence simply doesn’t exist. Rape does lead to pregnancy. Is if often? No, but often enough that there’s 20,000 women+ in this country who annually wind up pregnant as a result of rape.
There is no magic female “shut-off” option for the reproductive system when she is being raped, the vagina will often still secrete lubricants, the interior vagina will enlarge, women can even have an orgasm while being raped, which is something that heightens trauma and lead’s to tremendous “survivor’s guilt.”
People are desperate to prove this guy correct, when he simply said something so stupid, that it can’t be defended.
