(Scoop by Axios Richmond):
"At an event in Stafford County, Vega, a Prince William County supervisor and sheriffs deputy, was asked what she thinks Congress should do if the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.
After expressing support for new state-level restrictions, she said, The left will say, Well what about in cases of rape or incest? Im a law enforcement officer. I became a police officer in 2011. Ive worked one case where as a result of a rape, the young woman became pregnant.
Vega was then asked, Ive actually heard that its harder for a woman to get pregnant if shes been raped. Have you heard that?
Vega responded: 'Well, maybe because theres so much going on in the body. I dont know. I havent, you know, seen any studies. But if Im processing what youre saying, it wouldnt surprise me. Because its not something thats happening organically. Youre forcing it. The individual, the male, is doing it as quickly its not like, you know and so I can see why there is truth to that. Its unfortunate.'"
