Legitimate Rights

The National Women's Law Center recently released a report containing some staggering numbers regarding proposed state and federal laws in the past year -- since Todd Atkin made his ignoramus comments.

There are three alarming stats which are blowing up the Internet are:

    86 percent (235 provisions) of the 273 provisions that were introduced in state legislatures to restrict a woman's access to abortion apply to a woman whose pregnancy resulted from rape.
    71 percent (27 provisions) of the 38 state provisions restricting women's access to abortion enacted by the states apply to a woman whose pregnancy resulted from rape.
    72 percent (18 bills) of the 25 bills introduced in the United States Congress to restrict a woman's access to abortion apply to a woman whose pregnancy resulted from rape.
