Quick Glance: Research Estimates High Number of Rape-Related Pregnancies in Abortion Ban States
  • New research estimates nearly 65,000 pregnancies related to rape in the 14 states with abortion bans since the Dobbs decision in 2022.

  • The publication in a reputable academic journal used federal data to estimate the number of rape-related pregnancies that occurred between July 1, 2022, and Jan. 1, 2024.

  • Researchers estimated that over 500,000 rapes occurred in this time frame, and over 60,000 were associated with pregnancies.

  • Texas had the highest rate of rape-related pregnancies with over 26,000, far more than the second state on the list, Missouri, with around 5,800.
