    To further clarify: These figures are entirely based on estimates. They’re not “more visible” because of the abortion bans (the statistics used to make the estimates are based on pre-ban crime figures and an assumption about the percentage of rapes that result in pregnancy).

    I’m not saying this to criticise the study, but it’s important to understand what the numbers represent.
