Another reason for fewer pregnancies from rape

[HockeyMom]

The BIRTH CONTROL PILL. No mention of this? WHY? The Pill is the #1 contraceptive choice for the majority of women in this country. If a woman is already on the Pill when she is raped, there is less than a 1% change of a pregnancy from rape.

Of course, these Republican MEN think only unmarried "sluts" are on contraceptives. Married women (how do you know it's not your HUSBAND'S?), and mothers (Rush and mothers aren't into BC), AREN'T using contraceptives.?
No wonder these men, and some really stupid women, are so opposed to funding contraceptives for women. They don't NEED them!

Did of these people ever think that the PILL is why pregnancies from rape are so "low"?

1. Yeah but I would think the morning after pill would make a huge difference

I know it isn't always given to women, but the general standard is that it is.

2. between the cycle and the pill, odds arent in favor of preg. has nothing to do with shut off valve.

you are correct. lol

3. 32,000 per year is still a lot.

4. ONE is too many

My point is that if so many women weren't on the Pill, or given access to Morning After Pill, those numbers you cited would be much higher.
