You don't think that the anti-choice theocrats are responsible for that death, but rather, the physicians they terrified with their threat to revoke a medical license and incarcerate the physician for ten years are guilty of negligent homicide?
No argument has merit to theocratic, anti-choice Christians, which was a point I suggested in my post preceding this one. Look at how you framed this. The most heartbreaking of cases don't faze you at all. You exhibit zero interest in any aspect of this but to keep abortion criminalized, to blame the physicians for what the Christians have done to intimidate them, that no number of horrible outcomes matter to you, that pro-choice advocates are merely tugging at heartstrings with stories that don't touch your heart at all, and that none of that has any merit to you.
There are good Christians, but they're the ones who reject most of the dogma other than a god belief, and who don't really accept the Christian god's bigotries or the church's instructions on who to hate and who to disempower using the force of government.
More than that. This young woman lost her life.
My humanist values tell me that how those women choose to live is their business, not yours or mine, and not the Christian church's. They don't need to be abstinent to please you or anybody else, and seeking sexual pleasure with a consenting adult is not immoral nor does it deserve to result in an unwanted pregnancy to please Christian and Muslim theocrats.
These women don't ask you to have sex the way they do, which might be outside of marriage, which might involve a series of partners, which might result in an unwanted pregnancy, and might result in an abortion (hopefully, a safe, legal, and accessible one, but maybe an unsafe and illegal one if the other is not available to them), but you insist that they live according to your Christian beliefs.
All pregnancies wanted or unwanted are the result in inadequate contraception.
But let's see if we can get an answer to your question:
The following is a 2021 American statistic from
Rape-related pregnancy: estimates and descriptive characteristics from a national sample of women - PubMed : "
among adult women an estimated 32,101 pregnancies result from rape each year."
I had trouble finding recent data on pregnancy and birth rates, the rates of each falling considerably since this 2003 report at
Pregnancy rates for U.S. women continue to drop - PubMed: "
The estimated number of pregnancies dropped to 6,369,000 (4,131,000 live births, 1,152,000 induced abortions, and 1,087,000 fetal losses)."
This comes from the first link, and doesn't include fertile women 25 and older: "
In 2017, pregnancy rates for women aged 24 or younger reached their lowest recorded levels. These rates continue a longstanding decline in pregnancy rates among people aged 24 or younger, which started in the late 1980s. In 2017, there were 14 pregnancies per 1,000 women aged 15–17 (down from a peak of 75 in 1989), 57 pregnancies per 1,000 women aged 18–19 (from a peak of 175 in 1991) and 111 pregnancies per 1,000 women aged 20–24 (from a peak of 202 in 1990)."
So how do we combine these numbers to get you an answer? Let's go with 32,000 pregnancies from rape out of fewer than 6.4 million pregnancies - let's use 2/3 of that second number, since it's 2003 data, and it looks like these numbers fell about 50% between 1990 and now, 2003 coming at about 1/3 of that that time with 2/3 of it yet to come, or about total annual 4.3 million pregnancies.
32000 / 4600000 = about 0.007 or 0.7 percent, which is about 1 in 140.
Then they're ignoring the church, aren't they? The Catholic Churches rules are designed to keep every fertile womb busy from menarche to menopause. Look at them altogether: The Catholic church forbids abortion, contraception, masturbation, homosexuality, and divorce, and encourages girls to marry when fertile and forbids them to withhold sex.
My position is that the church is a net harm to society, and that the more of its dogma one assimilates, the worse it is for him/her and his/her neighbors. Hundreds of millions of people are exposed to its teachings, and they are affected to varying degrees by it, but the ones that make the best neighbors and fellow citizens are the ones who reject the most of it such as your Italian neighbors that are apparently having sex for "the maximization of pleasure," which you say you don't condone. Neither does the church. But fortunately, they ignore it.
