Rape and Pregnancy - Based on how the issue is normally presented, these are some surprising and counter-intuitive statistics.

Jim Druly thoughtfully points me to the Georgetown Law Review article that substantiates the claim that only about 50% of rape victims who are made pregnant by the rape seek an abortion. Here's the relevant paragraph:

"It is difficult to determine with certainty the outcome of the approximately 25,000 to 32,000 rape-related pregnancies that occur in the United States each year. One study found that 50% of women who became pregnant by rape underwent abortions, 5.9% placed their infants for adoptions, and 32.3% of raped women kept their infants.7 Another study, conducted in a separate year, found markedly different results, concluding that 26% of women pregnant through rape underwent abortions.8 Of the 73% of women who carried their pregnancies to term, 36% placed their infants for adoption, and 64% raised the children they conceived through rape.9"

What these numbers seem to gesture at is that a majority of women - a large majority of women, potentially - do not accept the modernist perspective that a fetus is simply a blob of tissue.

I'd ask why we haven't heard more of this, but the answer is obvious.
