Just another benefit of the current supreme court!

I'm actually more saddened by the fact there were 65K rapes.

This! The problem this highlights has nothing to do with abortion, party, the supreme court, etc...

65,000 rapes (and that's only a handful of states) should be the #1 issue everywhere.

It's worse than that, that's the estimated rapes that resulted in pregnancy, not the estimated number of rapes.
And if you try to get an abortion out of state you may be charged with murder.

Agreed seems we don't have an abortion problem, we have a rape problem.

See....this is where we need Charles Barkley.

It’s more than a rape problem. This country has a major people problem.
Why the hell are people so f’ed up.

 

[BelemNole]

Texas said that they'd fix the rape problem and the abortion problem would go away.
They have 28000 of those rape pregnancies.....

But imagine someone going through that horrific event, then being forced to carry the rapist's child for 9 months, then give birth, then raise your rapist's child. This has everything to do with abortion.

 

[BelemNole]

Yeah, it's almost like they made women's lives more difficult..

 

[noStemsnoSTICKS]

This abortion thing is going to haunt the republican party for years, if not decades to come.

It’s the American way.

Well technically they don’t have to keep and raise the rapist’s child but none the less it is pretty ridiculous.

Are the numbers as believable in this study as they were the last time we discussed this, where Texas was experiencing 1,000 rapes a day?

Esimated 26,000 women in Texas have become pregnant from being raped since abortion was outlawed

They should sit back and enjoy it. The body shuts down getting pregnant after all.

I try not to post on weekends. Did a search for rape and didn't see anything.
Sue me.
Just don't rape me in a red state.

Did you even read the article?

 

[alaskanseminole]

Yes, and if you did your big take-away was that? Not:

• 520,000 rapes
• Survivors of rape who become pregnant as a result, who don't want to disclose that fact
• Samantha Hansen's horrible story
• etc. etc. etc.

Your big take-away was the numbers may be off due to how they had to pull and calculate the data. Like other's have mentioned on here, I wish we could fix the rape problem rather than it's result, but here we are.

 

[hawkedoff]

It is amazing people read a number like that and are not immediately skeptical. People are stupid

Case in point. You are stupid. Stop being stupid.

There is zero chance their calculations are accurate. They are writing a shock piece with an agenda and you swallow it whole.

Dickman used to live and practice in Texas, and he began to wonder about patients who became pregnant due to rape in states where abortion is no longer an option. (He is also the medical director of Planned Parenthood Montana and a plaintiff in several lawsuits challenging abortion restrictions in Montana.)

He and a group of colleagues have arrived at an answer. They estimate in a research letter published Wednesday in JAMA Internal Medicine that 64,565 pregnancies have been caused by rape in the 14 states where abortion is banned.

What you claim.

Really? Can you break down the JAMA study and explain to us where they went wrong?
