The study does not define rape.

Do you see a difference between these types: violent rape, statuatory rape, spousal rape, date rape, unreported rape, etc.?

Now, does it matter how much of the 5% fell under each category.

My point is simply that without a tight definition of rape, then it becomes merely a loophole.

The same with the “health of the mother” exception. Cold, flu, psychological distress, emotional distress, hanging fingernal, and tiny booboo are all “health”.

And is a 15th cousin 5 times removed incest? And if it isn’t what law says it isn’t?

Ain't that the truth? You can visualize the baby-in-the-womb saying, "Well, my mom says her hair looks bad today, and she can't emotionally deal with that on top of her morning sickness because of me."
