Oh Look, Adam Schiff is Lying Again: Schiff Launches Media Disinformation Campaign on Rape Pregnancies
The study being cited, Rape-Related Pregnancies in the 14 US State With Total Abortion Bans, states, 'To estimate rape-related pregnancies, we multiplied the state-level estimate of vaginal rapes by the fraction likely to result in pregnancy and then adjusted for the number of months between July 1, 2022, and January 1, 2024, that a total abortion ban was in effect.'
The study estimated the number of rapes using CDC and Federal victimization self-reporting surveys from 2016/2017 and 2022 and then assumed a percentage of women aged 15 - 45 could have gotten pregnant.
No actual pregnancies were recorded in the data.
They further state, 'Because to our knowledge no recent reliable state-level data on completed vaginal rapes (forced and/or drug/alcohol–facilitated vaginal penetration) are available, we analyzed multiple data sources to estimate reported and unreported rapes in states with total abortion bans,'
So, assumptions built on assumptions, built on estimates.
Nevermind that, the Democrats have a Presidential campaign to run on abortion!
