I don’t think I would, but a dead fetus doesn’t need surgical abortion. That is a miscarriage.

Thier daughters won’t be able to get an abortion … unless they can make it to Mexico or Canada.

You better read post #38 and be educated by a woman. You are a typical example of a male who thinks he knows anything at all about female biology.

You know absolutely nothing about what it is to be a female.

Not all fetuses slide out. It can stay in the uterus and rot, causing the woman to become sepsis.

Very few women become pregnant from rape so try again.

It is a matter of proof. In Poland, doctors are afraid of the courts …

How many times a miscarriage was looked over as an abortion ?

[[Roe v. Wade: How anti-abortion legislation could limit miscarriage care](https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/roe-v-wade-anti-abortion-legislation-limit-miscarriage-care-rcna27349)]

I am reading Justice Alito draft.

I have read 40 pages from 98. It ook me 3 days, as i am over busy. And i am doing side researches along the way.

I will try to post something as soon as possible.

How old are you? You sound like you are spouting old Rupug ignorance/misinformation. Either that or you really do know very little about female reproduction. You don’t even comprehend why women terminate pregnancies. Not that every rape leads to pregnancy, just as not every sexual encounter leads to pregnancy, but you seem to be missing how and what causes pregnancy and how often women go for abortions. Women don’t use it as a means of contraception, but they do use it as a means of terminating unwanted pregnancies, non-viable pregnancies, and pregnancies that could mean their life. Not every woman gets an abortion, but if they ever need one during their reproductive years, the option needs to be there for them to choose, if they want or need it.

Oh and btw, abortion can be illegal, but it won’t stop women from getting abortions, even to save their lives, so all the tired Repug crap won’t convince people that abortion is wrong when it is not. It is a needed health care option for women, but if the Repugs go through with this, I’m sure we can figure out a way to regulate their bodies, in a manner that will kill them too.

You think Guy will bother to read it? Let alone think about it? It would require a beating heart and a thing called _compassion_. I hear the GOP is very, very low on the compassion scale.

> ## Abstract
> 
> **Objective:** We attempted to determine the national rape-related pregnancy rate and provide descriptive characteristics of pregnancies that result from rape.
> 
> **Study design:** A national probability sample of 4008 adult American women took part in a 3-year longitudinal survey that assessed the prevalence and incidence of rape and related physical and mental health outcomes.
> 
> **Results: The national rape-related pregnancy rate is 5.0% per rape among victims of reproductive age (aged 12 to 45); among adult women an estimated 32,101 pregnancies result from rape each year. Among 34 cases of rape-related pregnancy, the majority occurred among adolescents and resulted from assault by a known, often related perpetrator. \*\*  
> Only 11.7% of these victims received immediate medical attention after the assault, and 47.1% received no medical attention related to the rape.  
> A total 32.4% of these victims did not discover they were pregnant until they had already entered the second trimester; 32.2% opted to keep the infant whereas 50% underwent abortion and 5.9% placed the infant for adoption; an additional 11.8% had spontaneous abortion.:**
> 
> **Conclusions:** Rape-related pregnancy occurs with significant frequency. It is a cause of many unwanted pregnancies and is closely linked with family and domestic violence. As we address the epidemic of unintended pregnancies in the United States, greater attention and effort should be aimed at preventing and identifying unwanted pregnancies that result from sexual victimization.

No, they won’t stop raping their daughters. That’s the problem for the daughters.

Exactly! If one isn’t on birth control, pregnancy generally happens if sperm is in vagina.

And the more controlling the incestuist father is, the more likely the daughter will feel no control and develop an eating disorder. This is the reason for many eating disorders- not all, but many.

That’s a 2012 headline. He lost that election, due in large part to those comments. Unfortunately, if someone said something similar today, they might still win.

I’m sure you know this is wrong. Conception only happens when the women is fertile – which only occurs for a couple days each cycle.

5% is not a significant frequency.
