The psychological trauma these children experience when they someday find out that they were conceived via rape and that their "fathers" were loathsome sexual offenders of the worst sort has to be devastating (and some people might think the worst thing you would ever have to tell a child is that they are adopted). Is Ricky also in favor of these "Daddy Rapists" visiting and/or having legal rights to these children when they (eventually) get out of jail (if they are even prosecuted in the first place)? After all, he and his ilk believe in the innate supremacy of "intact" two parent heterosexual families, right? Has he ever met any of these children? Has he ever met any women whom say that they are "proud" of the fact that they decided to have their rapist's baby?
