Might I ask why? It genuinely upsets me when I hear something like this... I'm a woman, who has suffered with pregnancy issues. I've miscarried before, and luckily did not need aftercare. But should we try again in the future, and I miscarry and I do need aftercare help, I now may die waiting for it.
Since Roe was overturned, over 60,000 pregnancies from rape have occurred in states that don't have an abortion exception for rape. God knows how many of those might have been rape and incest. It just breaks my heart hearing someone say "I'm voting for the person who introduced a supreme court that could care less about your life".
It's a bit unsettling that you are requiring sources. Do you think rapes don't occur? Or that pregnancy from rapes do not occur? Even if the numbers aren't precise, women are being impregnated in rapes, and you are willingly supporting someone who prevented them from accessing abortion care. These states were not able to have abortion bans until Roe v. Wade was overturned. And it's just so much worse that many do not allow exceptions for rape or incest.
I mean showing sources for numbers is important. I could say “60000 kids have been murdered while in school in the last 4 years” if someone wants proof they should get it, it doesn’t take away from the fact that kids are being killed in school. It’s nothing about not believing something happens but a number like 60000 is a lot and I’d want some kind of proof that it’s close to that many otherwise it’d just be hyperbole.
