I thought the stat was about abortion, not rape. A 10-year-old needing an abortion has almost certainly been raped, but a 14-year-old could be sexually active with a same-age boyfriend.
I'm not saying it's better, I'm just curious. And yeah, per Ava's comment, the stat was about abortion not rape so I felt it was relevant because "under 15" is a wide age range that could include child rape victims AND sexually active young teenagers. It was one of those statistics that immediately gave rise to additional questions that are, in my mind, relevant to how we interpret the data. 🤷♀️
