Okay kiddo, so let me try to explain it to you in a way that you can understand.
In 2012, there was a big election happening in the United States. During this election, there was a lot of talk about a controversial topic called "rape and pregnancy."
Now, rape is when one person hurts another person by doing things to their body that they don't want or didn't say was okay. It's a very serious and terrible crime.
Pregnancy, on the other hand, is when a woman's body grows a baby inside of it. This usually happens when a woman and a man have a child together, but it can also happen in other ways.
So, some people were talking about what happens when a woman gets pregnant after being raped. This is a very difficult and emotional topic, because no one wants to think about someone getting hurt in that way.
Some people said that if a woman gets pregnant after being raped, she should not be allowed to have an abortion. An abortion is when a doctor removes the pregnancy from a woman's body. Other people said that women should always have the right to choose what happens with their bodies, even if they have been raped.
This was a big controversy in the election because different people had different opinions about it. It's important to remember that everyone has different opinions and it's okay to talk about them, but we should always treat others with kindness and respect, even if we don't agree with them.
