That is the difference between forcible, IE: stranger rape or FORCED rape by a known or unknown assailant, and what is often called date rape. As far as rape in marriage, of course it occurs. but you can't rape the willing and in many cases of ‘date rape’ it becomes rape after the actual consent is given and act occurs. Guilt and regret happens. That is just a fact.

That makes the instances of rape, VERY, VERY, VERY HARD to nail down (so to speak). Particularly since MANY, MANY, MANY instances of what is now called ‘date rape’, which is often ‘making bad decisions with a boy friend or male friend', are never reported, supposedly.

Regardless, I have not had that occur, with myself either while married or otherwise. the fact is that there are many fewer instances of rape resulting in pregnancy than what the bogus, non peer reviewed study you linked to says there are.

As for abortion as a necessity, outside of ectopic pregnancies, there are almost NO medically necessary abortions in order to save the life of the mother.

As for taking you to the woodshed for the BOGUS ridiculous idea that pregnancy from rape is THREE TIMES more likely than pregnancy by consensual sex, I have NO guilt by showing your gullibility and poor logical skills.

Just because the radical pro abortion Leftist FemiNazi’s say it, doesn't make it so. We call them liars, because that is what they do. They lie! Then they commission studies often at taxpayer expense, to reinforce their lies.

As for ‘just the tip, you know, to see how it feels’ That is a line from ‘Wedding Crashers’ A damn funny movie.

Google the following two papers on rape/pregnancy statistics. These are just two of many that are quite peer-reviewed:

Wilcox et al (2001)
Holmes et al (1996)

And the rambling about trying to dig out the nuances of consent, date rape, “it’s not reported so it’s not rape”, etc...I can’t seem to make sense of it. I think we are living in two different centuries with regard to the dignity of women. You should join the 21st century in that respect or at least move up to the 20th century regarding the protection of women.
