Oh I'm sure it has.

Statistically, even something very unlikely, if given enough opportunities, will happen.

But using that rare exception to make an argument is another issues.

People have also been struck by meteorites.

People choke to death on hot dogs, using a nasal flush, getting crushed by a vending machine, by having stacks of coin boxes in their money truck fall on them, from a wedgie, water injection from a fall while water skiing, getting hit in the balls by a tennis ball, riding a Segway off a cliff, by electrocution from a live microphone (on stage in front of an audience)...

People have died from flying lawnmowers at baseball half time shows.

Yes. Even something that only has a .0000001% chance of happening, might happen when you have 6 - 7 billion folks all trying to compete for that prize every day! Hahaha

***The problem here is that they are using a rare exception to make some point which does not really exist.

I'm not saying it didn't happen. It could've happened.

My issue is, now we're going to be subjected to all of these personal anecdotes from doctors about all of these 10-year old rape victims that need abortions.

The same personal anecdotes we've been subjected to about unvaccinated Covid victims.

Are they true? Could be, I suppose, but after having smoke blown up my ass for the past two years, I'm going to take all of these anecdotal stories with a grain of salt and a healthy dose of skepticism because, just like with Covid, they have an agenda to push.
