Abstract
AbstractDespite the fact that rape literature has flourished since 1975, most sources contain little or no reference to the issue of rape resulting in the victim's pregnancy. This work addresses several facets of the problem of pregnancy from rape. Literature citations of statistical frequency and medical theories regarding the physiology of the process, particularly coitus-induced ovulation theories, are presented. Implications for health care and social service professionals are examined, with an emphasis on how reporting practices affect intervention protocols. Finally, political trends are discussed, especially changes in the frequency with which pregnancy from rape has been documented since legislative policies restricted Medicaid funding for abortion.
