A study was done in an apartment block and this was found to be the case, so people said 'maybe its just this particular area' so they went nation wide and found the same trend.
I remember seeing that article about the 20% rate, and thought it was probably on the right track, but perhaps a little high. I would expect that if a study was done with rape victims, there might be some correlation between the rape and their fertility cycle, except that in the case of rape it becomes a case of blaming the victim, which is in very bad taste in this matter.
