When did the biological process of pregnancy change?

Asked by josie (30934points) July 22nd, 2012

Imagine a girl named Mary, a 21st century female who becomes pregnant. She claims that she is a virgin, that her pregnancy is some sort of abberation, a unique departure from the laws of nature.
I suspect that she would be regarded at best as one who evades the truth, at worst as psychotic.
On the other hand, an entire institution which wields enormous influence over the Western world, holds as a basis for its existence this very story. And it is accepted without question.
Why is that?
