What did Rubio say...

[Nebuchadnezzar]

...that has Hilary fired up?

[SunsetBengal]

He showed that he is a composed speaker, and viable candidate that would most certainly destroy her in a National Debate forum. So, before he gathers much steam, she decided to attempt to take him out, early.

"Reporters want her to issue the requisite condemnation of Trump’s “blood” comment about Kelly, which she dutifully does, but she’s more interested in discussing Marco Rubio’s answer at the debate about opposing abortion exceptions for rape and incest. The Clintons, at least for now, are still betting that they have more to fear long-term from Rubio than from Trump; at the very least, they think Rubio’s comment might be seen by single women as representative of the party as a whole in a way that Trump’s remark about Kelly isn’t."

He said he doesn't support rape exceptions for abortion.

Because it's almost as rare as seeing a unicorn.

What's rare?

Rape causing pregnancy or ending a rape caused pregnancy with abortion?

All the above.

Most Americans are on Hillary's side on this one.

Telling a rape victim she must carry her attacker's child isn't very popular for most people. Doesn't matter if it's rare, either.

It's hard to get real data on rape given the fact that it's very underreported, but let's go with the 5% number. If 5% of rapes end in pregnancy that's roughly 31,000 based on if we're going with the CDC estimates. 


http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8765248

The study that got the rape percentage determined that a half did not seek medical attention for the rape and a third did not even realize they were pregnant until the 2nd trimester. 62% got abortions.

Happens less than 1% of the time. It's a false argument.

I paraphrased the relevant numbers.

Looks like they are pumping up rape numbers due to the belief it's not reported.

lol, I liked at the end where it just said "sources: Census.gov, guttmacher.org, and foxnews.com" without giving any actual articles, pages, or reports from those sites for their numbers. It reminded me of what my students do when they don't know how to cite anything.

If you want actual numbers with sources, check out the study I posted.

No, they got that 5% number based on their study. They didn't adjust it based on a belief that it is underreported. 

A separate study estimated that it could be 6.4%.

Your study assumes 5% based on pregnancy happening 5% of the time you have sex. For 5% to be The number the women would only be getting raped. Their normal non rape sex would water down that 5%.

And like I said, doesn't matter how rare it is whatsoever. Rubio specifically said a rape victim should have to give birth to her attacker's baby. Most Americans oppose that.

No, they looked at the percent of the women in their study who were raped and then looked at how many of those who were raped became pregnant because of it. 

had they not factored out women who were raped but became pregnant by other people, they would have had 6% and not 5%.

If you get raped. You can pop a morning after pill. No abortion needed.
