A study in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology estimated, from a sample of 4,008 women, that:

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.


Another study, using a sample of 405 women who reported having been raped once, found a pregnancy rate of 6.4 percent. But at the lower number, the 5 percent rape pregnancy rate, that's 32,101 women each year who Todd Akin and his juice and secretion-obsessed fellow Republicans want to deny the choice of ending a rape-related pregnancy.
