  1. Well I've read that only 10% of rapes result in pregnancy.  Number is so low b/c often rapes dont result in a man cuming, it's not about s*x and pleasure.

    How many are these pregnancies aborted?  I havnt seen any real data on this but i would guess 80% easy.  Very few women would be willing to carry such a burden.


  2. I'm not sure what the question is exactly, but there are about 100,000 reported rapes in the US per year, and about 1.5 million abortions. Less than 5% of abortions are performed because of rape.

    I'm not really sure what kind of information you're trying to get from this. There are so many reasons for abortion and really only one for rape.

  3. .2% of the population is raped, .002% of the rape victims get pregnant.

  4. This is a difficult thing to even quantify because

    1. Many rapes go unreported even if they result in pregnancy

    2. If a woman becomes pregnant after a rape, and she is in a consensual sexual relationship as well, it is difficult to know who impregnated her

    3. Rapes are considered violent crimes as opposed to sexual deviancy crimes and often do not result in sperm entering the v****a

    4. Some women choose abortion after finding out that the fetus they are carrying has Down Syndrome or some other disease

    What I'm saying is... I'm not sure what conclusion you are trying to draw from the answer to your question, but chances are, it will be lacking in answering what you really want to get to.  There are so many factors that influence abortion, and rape statistics have an extremely high margin for error because they are based solely on self-report statistics that this is hardly going to give you an answer you can depend on.

  5. I have no clue, and I was given the morning-after pill when I reported it.

    Whoever says that rape doesn't happen is living in a fantasy-world.
