GOP US House Nominee: It’s Harder To Get Pregnant From Rape Because “It’s Not Happening Organically”

“Maybe because there’s so much going on in the body. I don’t know. I haven’t, you know, seen any studies. But if I’m processing what you’re saying, it wouldn’t surprise me. Because it’s not something that’s happening organically. You’re forcing it. The individual, the male, is doing it as quickly. And so I can see why there is truth to that. It’s unfortunate.” – Virginia Republican US House nominee Yesli Vega, when asked if she’s also heard that it’s “harder for a women to get pregnant from rape.”

Vega, the chair of Latinos For Youngkin, is running to unseat two-term incumbent Democratic Rep. Abigail Spanberger.
