In reply to the discussion: Rep. Steve King: I’ve Never Heard Of A Girl Getting Pregnant From Statutory Rape Or Incest [View all]HockeyMom
(14,337 posts)What is so difficult for these men to understand about that? An adult woman does not ovulate 365 days a year. Pre-pubescent girls do not ovulate at all. Post menopausal women to do not ovulate at all. Women already taking birth control do not ovulate. A rape victim, who has not ovulated and takes the Morning After Pill, will not ovulate.
A friend of mine was 12 years old when she was raped back in the 60s. She was a child and didn't get pregnant. Why? Her parents took her to a hospital where she was given mega doses of contraceptives, so she won't ovulate. Thus no pregnancy. Yes, even before the so called Morning After Pill.
BTW, my friend's father would have killed the rapist of his daughter. If any legislator said that his little girl had to give birth to that rapist baby, this father have killed them too. Of course that would never have happened, because my friend told me that she would have committed suicide. She was suicidal for many years just from the RAPE, never mind a forced pregnancy from it.
