Where else are they going to get 11-year olds to rape?
But want to defund WIC. Don't abort, but let the baby starve.
Make the parents desperate enough to do whatever you want for scraps to survive.
The cruelty is the point.
If they did, they'd be funding prenatal healthcare. They don't care if they live or die.
Tell them it's largely minorities who will be having children and Republicans may change their tune
Texas won't happy until a mother and her child both go to the same school district.
LOL, not a chance. Texas won't be happy until the teen mom's son is homeschooled and she isn't educated at all.
I am sure many many more had to have their rapists child.
Yup, these are just the ones that could afford to leave the state.
And how many rape cases were filed?
Far more than were processed, let alone solved.
This ^
All states have a backlog of unprocessed rape kits, but in red states the backlog is several years long. Conservatives don't see rape as a crime.
Doesn't matter. They won't get to testing the rape kit for another couple of decades.
As if rape cases ever get taken seriously. There's just no incentive to file anymore.
This is the type of information that needs to be put on full blast in the state. If they believe children cannot consent, cannot be old enough to make their own decisions, and cannot escape their parent’s control, then this needs to be shoved into their faces. You want to make abortion illegal? Fine, but either you make an exception that allows minors to undergo the process or be fed details on the consequences of your decisions on a daily basis. You don’t get to sweep this under the rug and pretend it doesn’t involve you. YOU put this additional barrier upon a minor; YOU decided the child must undergo birthing that baby; YOU prioritized the fetus over the human.
PUT THOSE BAREFOOT KITCHEN WORKERS IN PRISON!!!!

"Good" is not the right word to use here, so I'll just say that I am grateful on their behalf that they were able to do that and very sad about all the others who really do not have that option.
They gonna jail em now?
