A 2003 study using data from the United States National Violence Against Women survey found that the rate at which women get pregnant after an incident of sexual assault is more than double that of a single act of consensual sex. In this report, published in the journal Human Nature, the per-incident rape-pregnancy rate was 6.42 percent, and as high as 7.98 percent with statistical correction. Of women having consensual sex, the per-incident pregnancy rate was 3.1 percent.
Serotonin?
I'm backing into this in a weird way.
My wife and I have some friends that were trying to have a baby (not a fetus or a blob of tissue, oddly enough.) They had a very difficult time and went to see a fertility specialist. Along with the usual charting stuff, they had to get her very relaxed. Meditate, no stress at all. Massage to release Serotonin was supposed to help conception.
So - if stress levels affect it when trying to conceive, then the stress of being violently violated would have to have an effect as well.
Again, what Akin said was stupid, but I'll bet there was a tiny nugget of fact somewhere behind it.
So you are just basically making up physiologic fact.
How does serotonin affect conception?
so how old was that friend of yours?
No there isn't. As the link I posted shows, rape has a higher pregnancy rate than consensual sex.Serotonin?

For the mentally challenged that believe that somehow rape doesn't result in pregnancy:

The ONLY solution they're ever going to find is the one that allows them to somehow blame their current PR problem on liberals.

So rapist have stronger sperm?
Progressives are the only ones allowed to misspeak and then change the narrative to "what they really meant to say".
What is wrong with what Akin said???
maybe they target younger women.
maybe they target younger women.
Maybe.
Or possibly pregnant girls would rather claim rape than admit to sleeping around.
I'll bet that if the stats were vetted to charges filed, there would be a vastly different number.
the stats are not of officially claimed rapes, as in "police is involved"?
