Science Vs
How Do You Get Pregnant With No Vagina?

So that is one way, maybe, after the break, the final unbelievable chapter.

Welcome back.

Here's where we're at based on the facts on the ground.

It looks like the only way this could have happened was that the sperm that she swallowed after giving oral to her boyfriend somehow survived the acids in her stomach, escaped the stomach through a stab wound, and then swam down the obstacle course that is her body and merged with the egg.
