64,565 Rape-Related Pregnancies in the 14 US States With Total Abortion Bans between July 1, 2022, and January 1, 2024,
Joe told me he will do something about this if I vote for him.
He won’t do anything RIGHT NOW, but he promised he will if we all vote super hard.
Thats weird man, Obama told me the same thing 😳.
That’s crazy man, Clinton said he did too back during the primaries in '92
Wonder why they never did
Don’t just take the Washington Post’s word for it, either, here it directly from their mouths.
So one out of every 2.5k women in the US was raped, conceived, and now cannot abort the fetus.
This is not even the total number of women raped, let alone the total number of people of all genders raped. Just those who conceived and can’t get an abortion.
And that number is one per 2.5k.
Holy fuck. I hate it here.
If you’re doing total US women population, yeah, that figure is grim. However, the numbers on the 14 states in the study, are far more grim.
One per 604
Sources seem to indicate that the average American knows, at an acquaintance level, about 600 people1.
That means, on average, every single person in those 14 states knows someone impacted in this way. If that seems wildly off, please let me know, and I’ll scratch that out, but it’s what my math is telling me.

2. Source for population data: census.gov QuickFacts lookupThis is all just so awful, even at the country level and more so at the state level. I would say that, since these states are less population-dense, the number of acquaintances people have there is probably lower, but even two out of every three people knowing someone directly affected by these forced-birth laws because they were raped is fucking terrible.
It points to a lifetime rate of about 5% of all people conceived from SA.
What the fuck
Greatest country in the world
