Skop has argued in favor of forcing rape and incest victims as young as nine or ten to carry pregnancies to term.[6] Testifying in front of the House Oversight Committee in 2021, Skop said: "If she is developed enough to be menstruating and become pregnant and reach sexual maturity, she can safely give birth to a baby."[6][8] However, pregnancy at such a young age is shown to carry significant health risks.[6][9]
