Study Estimates 65,000 Rape-Related Pregnancies in States with Abortion Bans

A study estimates that over 64,000 women and girls became pregnant due to rape in states with abortion bans after Roe v. Wade was overruled, with Texas topping the list. The research suggests that rape exceptions fail to provide reasonable access to abortion for survivors, and the Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization has led to an increase in patients traveling across state lines to get abortions. President Joe Biden has expressed support for expanding reproductive rights and enshrining protections provided by Roe v. Wade into law.
