Abortion ban sparks estimated 65,000 rape-related pregnancies

Biden and the Democrats have sought to blame Trump for abortion restrictions because the former president appointed three of the nine justices in the US Supreme Court, where conservatives now hold a 6-3 majority.

The conservative majority supported overturning the law, deeming it unconstitutional.

“Across our nation, women are suffering and let us be very clear about who is responsible,” Vice President Kamala Harris said last week, standing alongside the president at a rally in Virginia.

“Former president Trump hand-picked three Supreme Court justices because he intended for them to overturn Roe.”

The Supreme Court repealed the law in June 2022 and left it to the states to determine what access, if any, women could receive. Since then, about 14 states banned abortion almost immediately, most with almost no exceptions at all.

Five of those 14 states have exceptions for rape, but they also have stringent gestational duration limits and survivors must report the rape to police to access abortion services, which disqualifies many women who don’t wish to report.

On the campaign trail, Trump has sought to balance his Supreme Court legacy with the fact that the vast majority of Americans believe abortion should generally be legal.

While campaigning for the Republican nomination in recent months, Trump’s position has been less extreme than some of his rivals and he has occasionally blamed the extreme policies of the anti-abortion movement for the GOP’s recent electoral losses.

He also favours exemptions for rape, incest and the life of the mother and has criticised the six-week ban enacted by former rival, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.

DeSantis withdrew from the race after a disappointing result in the Iowa caucuses, leaving Trump’s former ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley, as his last remaining challenger for the nomination.

Haley has tried to take a more balanced position on abortion, declaring herself “unapologetically pro-life” while advocating for finding a national consensus on abortion access.

The latest research, based on an analysis of multiple data sets, was conducted by Dr Samuel Dickman, a medical director at Planned Parenthood of Montana; Kari White, a reproductive and health policy expert; and David Himmelstein, a professor of public health at the City University of New York.

“In this cross-sectional study, thousands of girls and women in states that banned abortion experienced rape-related pregnancy, but few [if any] obtained in-state abortions legally, suggesting that rape exceptions fail to provide reasonable access to abortion for survivors,” the authors write.

“Survivors of rape who become pregnant in states with abortion bans may seek a self-managed abortion or try to travel [often hundreds of miles] to a state where abortion is legal, leaving many without a practical alternative to carrying the pregnancy to term.”
