writing Worst Case Scenarios...she is pregnant as a result of the rape,
by laws in her state she is forced to carry the fetus to term,
the rapists sues for shared custody,
AND WINS!
Or full and child support!

Women should not be raped. Rapists should be punished. (Did I have to add that?)

Conservative “values” wrapped all around that poster. My proof? Those with conservative values wouldn’t understand the posters value or meaning.

And to think granny Boebert is in congress instead of this woman.

Some religiously insane people are even calling for the death penalty for women who dare have abortions.

At that point, might as well hunt down the rapist, nothing to lose.

Funny how we plan on punishing women who don't want to birth their rapist fetus more than we punish the rapist.

"Migt"???? Is that supposed to be "might"?

Reminds me of the idiotic person who spelled "hour guardian angle" on the tRump- muscleman post last night.

condemn rape because women are seen only as property. I don’t remember the verses cited, but they all had to do with payment to the man (husband or father) for damaging his property. Republicans still see women as nothing more than chattel who are to be rules by the men in their lives, evidently including anyone who rapes them.

I thought the heroine's apparatus in Snow Crash was a good idea. Might give men a second thought about assault.

In the novel Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson, the vagina of Y.T., a female character, is equipped with a dentata, a device which injects a powerful soporific to whatever penetrates it, in order to prevent rape.
