Obama now claiming 1 in 5 women in America have experienced rape or attempted rape

Obama now claiming 1 in 5 women in America have experienced rape or attempted rape | WashingtonExaminer.com:
"“Right now, nearly 1 in 5 women in America has been a victim of rape or attempted rape,” President Obama said Sunday night in a message played during the Grammys.
“And more than 1 in 4 women has experienced some form of domestic violence.”
 Wow, just wow.
Gone are the days that the president makes false claims that 1 in 5 women will be sexually assaulted while in college. Now 20 percent of all women in America have been raped or nearly raped. And 25 percent of American women — not just college women — have experienced domestic violence.
Let’s just think about that for a minute.
The current population of the U.S. is 316.1 million, with women comprising about half.
That means there are about 158 million women and girls in the U.S.
If 20 percent of American women have been raped or almost raped, that’s a total of 31.6 million women, which is somewhere between the populations of Texas and California."
