Responses:

the 90s study being tossed around suggests 32,000 rape babies are born every year in the US ... - Beryllium Aug 21, 11:12 21
- I thought it just suggested that many pregnancies? -- nm - loosilu Aug 21, 11:20 17
  - and? -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 21, 11:22 1
    - a certain number of those (probably higher than average) will end in abortion. -- nm - loosilu Aug 21, 11:22
  - You might be right. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 21, 11:20 14

      - am I reading this right ? 32,000 pregnancies and pregnancies occur in 5% of rapes each year? - decline Aug 21, 11:26 3
        
        I'm not sure about definitions and methodology, but this has a smaller number. -- (link) - mara Aug 21, 11:29 1
        
        methodology is important, because they may or may not be including the assumed unreported numbers. -- nm - loosilu Aug 21, 11:31
        
        they don't give methodology but it may include statutory cases. -- nm - loosilu Aug 21, 11:27
      - My math says 10,332 kept the baby. -- nm - loosilu Aug 21, 11:25 8
        
        Now the question is, was that because abortion wasn't available to them as an option? -- nm - TWuG Aug 21, 11:26 7
        
        it's available everywhere, last I knew. -- nm - loosilu Aug 21, 11:28 6
        
        Not even close to everywhere unless you mean each state has at least 1 provider. - TWuG Aug 21, 11:29 5
        
        is that still true (each state has 1+)? -- nm - Don Homer Aug 21, 11:31 3
        
        "14 percent of obstetricians and gynecologists in the United States provide abortions" -- (link) - mara Aug 21, 11:36
        
        There was a thing about a state with 1 provider and a new law that would probably force it to close - TWuG Aug 21, 11:35 1
        
        I wonder if it was a clinic that was an option for low-income women, or something. If you have money, I think even Kansas has more than doctor who'll - mara Aug 21, 11:37
        
        oh, I thought you meant not legally available. -- nm - loosilu Aug 21, 11:30
- If they asked the woman if the pregnancy was actually due to a rape or consensual sex, I think they'd be surprised by the answer. - Mop (197 lbs) Aug 21, 11:18
- If TV has taught me anything, it's that they grow up to be cops that are really good at handling sexually charged crimes. -- nm - TWuG Aug 21, 11:18
- hmm. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 21, 11:16
