There's nothing hilarious about Date Rape drugs...Abusive Husbands....9 yr old Girls being
impregnated by Stepfathers...P Diddys kicking girlfriends around...and Jeffrey Epsteins luring and trafficking young girls into situations where unwanted pregnancies are sure to happen.
Getting back to numbers, a JAMA study estimated that approximately 64,500 pregnancies resulted from rape across 14 U.S. states with total abortion bans in the roughly 16-18 month period following the overturning of Roe v Wade in 2022. The vast majority of these...about 59,000...occurred in states that do not provide exceptions for rape.
You can quibble all you want about exact numbers...but the reality is that large numbers of forced and totally unwanted pregnancies represent reality.
What's also reality is that the wealthy victims can fly to find good medical care, while those who are not so lucky end up either self-aborting, or seeking out a "Back Alley" provider...i.e. the Reality of Pre-Roe v Wade America.
In Reality, government imposed abortion bans don't stop abortions...they only cause more harm to millions of innocent women. There is a better way to achieve the Real Goal of Reducing the number of abortions...a) Contraceptive Availability...b) Sex/Sexuality Education for ALL ages...and c) Funding for programs that make it tenable for women to carry unwanted pregnancies to term.
