What happens to the rapist, then? Can he get partial custody of the child? Can he use that as an excuse to keep meeting or at least indirectly interacting with his rape victim?
What a great healing agent, to force women to be repeatedly reminded of that time when they were raped.
Don’t worry, the good bible has the answer.
28 If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered,
29 he shall pay her father fifty shekels of silver. He must marry the young woman, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives.Fifty shekels of silver? That’s how much today in Stanley Nickels?
A child that will be a living, breathing reminder of their attack for the rest of their life is also a cruel thing to force upon them. But this is
masochismsadism.Hate to be THAT person, but it’s sadism if you are referring to the guy who said it. Misogyny often breeds both though, so I can imagine the confusion.

Did you just make me, for half a second, support the serial gang rape of Senators who support this legislation?

This is how you get increased suicides and abandoned infants.
The problem is (a) Republicans don’t care if the issue isn’t their own, and (b) Republicans seem to lack the capacity for identifying systemic failures. It’s like an object-permanence thing with them. If they can’t physically see the thing happening directly with their two eyes, then there is no relation. Like they’re blind to negative externalities or indirect side-effects. at the macro level.
In other words… There’s a reason these folks don’t normally make great engineers or scientists.
This is EXACTLY what Republicans mean when they say they’re HARD on Rapists! After a Rapist Rapes your daughter it’s illegal for her to get an Abortion and if she does her Rapist gets a bunch of money from her!
