Let me know what you think. One of the subjects in work is the over medicating/over testing/ unnecessary procedures that are performed for little or no value. It can increase costs as well as doing damage to patients.

Shameful Treatment of Rape Victims

More than 64,000 women and girls became pregnant because of rape in states that implemented abortion bans after Roe v. Wade was overruled, according to a new research estimate published online Wednesday.

The research letter, published by JAMA Internal Medicine and headed up by the medical director at Planned Parenthood of Montana, estimated that nearly 520,000 rapes were associated with 64,565 pregnancies across 14 states, most of which had no exceptions that allowed for terminations of pregnancies that occurred as a result of rape.

In case you’re not counting THAT’S 1 RAPE EVERY MINUTE OF EVERY DAY ALL YEAR.

Texas topped the list, with 45% of the rape-related pregnancies occurring within the state, researchers estimated. Ninety-one percent of the estimated rape-related pregnancies took place in states without exceptions for rape, according to the researchers.

Abortion exceptions for rape are meaningless because a police report is generally required.

Twelve states are enforcing almost-complete bans on abortion, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a pro-abortion-rights organization. While it is not banned in Wisconsin or North Dakota, abortion access has been complicated in the two states by legal uncertainty in Wisconsin and the decision by North Dakota’s only abortion clinic to move, the institute said.

Sexual violence affects millions of people every year in the U.S., according to the CDC. Over half of women have experienced sexual violence involving physical contact, according to the CDC.

This is just hateful behavior and can’t stand. This is the Taliban in America and those who seek to subjugate women should be publicly identified that way.

Here is a link to a full NBC report on the story.

Action

America is well on it’s way Hell, thanks to those who subjugate women. The Supreme Court has traveled back in time and endorsed State’s Rights for abortion forcing women into subjugation.

Let’s annoy our elected representatives, Members of Congress and Senators, over and over to get them to take action. They need to know that their jobs are at stake.

“I am your constituent and I just learned that there are about 520,000 rapes (1 every minute) in the US that resulted in 64,565 pregnancies across 14 states. Of those, 91% happened in states that have no exceptions that allowed for terminations of pregnancies that occurred as a result of rape. That’s more than 58,000 women. 45% in Texas. Are you OK with this kind of treatment? I hope not.

I want you to come out in public and let everyone know that this kind of treatment of women in the US is not acceptable. HOW MANY WOMEN HAVE TO SUFFER?

I want you to get the Women’s Health Protection Act (H.R. 12/S. 701) passed and fast. I want you to make sure Mifepristone, the abortion medication, is available via tele-health and by mail fast. (H.R. 767/S. 4467).

I want you to behave like your job depends on this because it does.”
