How much do you know about women’s health?

There is a lot of misinformation out there about women’s health and sexual assault. Here’s a chance to test your knowledge and get informed at the same time.

1. Let's start with what you know about abortion. Which one of these statements is false?

Answer: B. Women who have abortions experience "Post-Abortion Syndrome." There is no proof that women who get an abortion experience "Post-Abortion Syndrome." This is a myth used by anti-choice groups as an excuse to pass laws that make it more difficult to obtain an abortion. In fact, 95 percent, according to a study but the Guttmacher Institute, thought it was the right decision, and reported feeling more relief and happiness than those denied abortion.

2. There are plenty of myths out there about sexual assault. Which one of these statements is false?

Answer: A. More than half of all accusations of rape and sexual assault are false and are often a way for a women to get revenge on an ex or cover up for making a bad decision while drunk. According to the National Sexual Violence Resource Center, only 2 to 10 percent of sexual assault reports are later deemed false. Consent is needed before engaging in sex regardless of whether the parties are in a relationship or under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

3. What percent of abortions cause major medical problems?

Answer: C. 0.25 percent. More than 99.75 percent of abortions do not cause major medical problems, according to a study by the University of California, San Francisco.

4. Many people are still unclear about what constitutes sexual assault. Which one of these statements about sexual assault is false?

Answer: C. If the sexual assault survivor makes contradictory or partial statements about the attack they are lying. Often people have trouble remembering the details of a trauma because traumatic memories are often coded in the brain differently. Survivors can often feel embarrassed and scared they won't be believed or their family will find out so they hold off on reporting, according to the Chronicle of Higher Education. And people have different reactions to being assaulted. Some fight, while others freeze.

5. How often is the perpetrator of sexual assault someone the survivor knows?

Answer: A. 78%. The vast majority of survivors know their perpetrator when it comes to sexual assault. According to Campus Safety Magazine, 78 percent of rapes or sexual assaults against women in college are committed by "non-strangers."

6. Can you spot another lie about abortion?

Answer: B. There's a link between abortion and breast cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, there is no cause-and-effect link between abortion and breast cancer. If you remember back to question 3, less than one percent of women report any medical problems. American pop culture misrepresents the number, with about 9 percent of TV and movie characters dying due to abortion. There are statistically far fewer complications from abortion than a colonoscopy or even wisdom teeth removal.

7. Let's see if you know which of these is true about sexual assault survivors:

Answer: C. None of the above. Rape is rape, no matter the perpetrator. Both men and women can experience sexual assault -- about 1.7 percent of men in their lifetime are victims, according to Campus Safety Magazine. And, consent is always necessary before sex regardless of the couple's relationship status. As the Healing Center puts it: "A marriage license does not require a wife to submit to sexual contact whenever the husband demands it.”

8. If a woman does not try and fight off an attacker it is not assault.

Answer: False. Lack of resistance does not mean consent. Only consent means consent. According to Campus Safety Magazine, sexual assault is a trauma that can cause the body to react in various defensive ways including "tonic-immobility" or freezing.
