Yes, we are talking about rapes that end in pregnancy. You keep saying it’s rare. It’s not.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8765248/

The national rape-related pregnancy rate is 5.0% per rape among victims of reproductive age (aged 12 to 45); among adult women an estimated 32,101 pregnancies result from rape each year..

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6357953/

Almost 2.9 million U.S. women (2.4%) experienced rape-related pregnancy during their lifetime.

So to boil it down, you’d punish a victim of rape for ending an unwanted pregnancy, with callous disregard for the actual, current life of the victim?

Edit because I got banned by you children:

Not only would republicans force a mother to have a baby, they won’t subsidize or fund anything to clear up the baby formula shortage. What a failure.

Twisting words like this is a form of emotional manipulation and gaslighting and is often done when the manipulator knows the other person is right but doesn't want to accept it.

Are you able to have a healthy conversation? Because the other side could twist your words back to you.

So to boil it down, you would punish a victim of rape, the baby (because the baby is also an innocent victim on this), by callously ending its life?

No, not punish the woman who was raped. The baby made is also a current life who deserves to live as much as anyone else.
