Pregnancy from rape
Pregnancy
is a potential result of
rape
. It has been studied in the context of war, particularly
as a tool for genocide
, as well as other unrelated contexts, such as rape by a stranger,
statutory rape
,
incest
, and
underage pregnancy
. The current
scientific consensus
is that rape is as likely to lead to pregnancy as
consensual sexual intercourse
, with some studies suggesting rape may result in higher rates of pregnancy than consensual intercourse.
