Talk:Pregnancy from rape

Poor sourcing regarding laws
More precisely, there is not a single source that pins down what law or practice in what country said that pregnancy from rape means no rape. Definitely too weak for this article. --109.192.195.210 (talk) 19:17, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

When the rapist is a woman?
Pregnancy from rape can also occur when the rapist is a woman and the victim is a man. See Hermesmann v. Seyer and also,. Should this be covered? 86.146.244.1 (talk) 21:14, 22 May 2021 (UTC)


 * There was no "rape" in that case, statutory, legal, or otherwise. The only thing the juvenile girl was charged with (as a juvenile) was "contributing to the misdeeds of a child" or some such rubbish. Moreover, as per the Kansas court, only in the context of criminal proceedings would the boy be deemed unable to consent due to his age; in civil proceedings there is no minimum "age of consent", and the court in that civil proceeding deemed that he in fact had consented. For all these reasons, it is a clear violation of BLP policy to label the woman who was involved in that case a "rapist" - if it's not full libel, it's bordering dangerously close to it.

 * Men can be raped by women. If a woman can rape a man, she can get pregnant as a result of rape. Why don't you think there should be a section on this?


 * PS. If an adult has sex with a minor, that is statutory rape and the perpetrator is a rapist. Another of the linked examples involved a 34 year old woman and a 15 year old boy. It doesn't matter if the child supposedly consented.

Allied sexual holocaust 1944-1946
its astonishing that the by far greatest mass rape with millions of pregnancies is not mentioned with a word. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.230.144.236 (talk) 07:52, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

Are you talking about rape by Soviet Forces? I think that probably should be added since so many people were involved. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Whipassmt (talk • contribs) 19:11, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

Undue emphasis on Todd Akin
It seems to me that too much of this article, specifically the lede and the sources are about, or reference, remarks made by Congressman Akin. I don't think this article should have so much focus on this one incident. I believe we can and should remove some of the sources in the references that are primarily about the Akin incident and give less coverage to this in the lede ```` — Preceding unsigned comment added by Whipassmt (talk • contribs) 19:14, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
