He also told me one thing, If you do (have premarital sex), just remember, consensual sex can turn into rape in an awful hurry. Because all of a sudden a young lady gets pregnant and the parents are madder than a wet hen and shes not going to say, Oh, yeah, I was part of the program. All that she has to say or the parents have to say is it was rape because shes underage. And he just said, Remember, Roger, if you go down that road, some girls, he said, they rape so easy. What the whole genesis of it was, it was advice to me, telling me, If youre going to go down that road, you may have consensual sex that night and then the next morning it may be rape. So the way he said it was, Just remember, Roger, some girls, they rape so easy. It may be rape the next morning.
-Wisconsin State Rep. Roger Rivard

The odds are one in millions and millions and millions. And there is a physical reason for that. Rape, obviously, is a traumatic experience. When that traumatic experience is undergone, a woman secretes a certain secretion, which has a tendency to kill sperm.

Concern for rape victims is a red herring because conceptions from rape occur with approximately the same frequency as snowfall in Miami.
