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.

[-] DigitalTraveler42@lemmy.world 97 points 2 years ago

This is just a step to eliminating rape as a crime, they'll find some way to justify as "for the babies", the GOP are completely garbage people.

[-] Drusas@kbin.social 41 points 2 years ago

Generally yes. They can even get partial custody.

[-] mp3@lemmy.ca 16 points 2 years ago

It's for the healing process /s

[-] wicked@programming.dev 20 points 2 years ago

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.

Well Missouri is the 'legitimate rape' state so...yep. This is on brand.

[-] spider 15 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

from 2021:

Ex-US Rep. Todd Akin, sunk by 'legitimate rape' remark, dies

"He was a devout Christian..."

surprise! /s

[-] AquaTofana@lemmy.world 114 points 2 years ago

From the article: "Also in 2022, a Michigan Republican candidate said he told his daughters “If rape is inevitable, you should just lie back and enjoy it.”

I do not think I've ever read a statement from someone that has pissed me off so fucking quickly. Someone needs to check on this man's daughters and fucking take them from him, forcibly if necessary, ASAP, and then put them with a family who legitimately loves them.

FUCK I HATE THIS TIMELINE.

[-] Ekybio@lemmy.world 40 points 2 years ago

Dont hate the timeline.

Hate Republicans. Thats just more honest.

I would make this guy walk around with a cantaloupe in his ass for 9 months and then shit it out, take it home a day later, and send him a bill for $10k a week later.

[-] doubletwist@lemmy.world 43 points 2 years ago

And then make him take care of it for 18 years.

Holy fuck, this should be cause for mandatory public castration.

[-] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

You don't want to do these fuck-knuckles any harm, you just want to give them opportunities for great healing events of their own.

This dude looks like he has some kind of ulterior motive, here.

What i am saying is: he looks like a rapist.

[-] FabledAepitaph@lemmy.world 25 points 2 years ago

Yeah, it looks like he wants to rape women and force them to have his rape babies. I'm guessing he's already raped somebody, based on this pro-rapist attitude.

I literally feel ill. Like physically ill. My wife blessed me with my baby boy and imagining that someone could force her to go what she went through to get him into this world is... IDK what it is... Too angry rn. Fucking disgusting fuckfaces!

Rape babies can be dropped off at his front door.

[-] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 53 points 2 years ago

Of course the members of the pedophilia party would say that having a rapist's baby would be beneficial to the rape victim.

[-] Pratai@lemmy.ca 44 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

We are seemingly moments away from women being prosecuted for giving men erections.

[-] andrewta@lemmy.world 29 points 2 years ago

It seems more honest than touting exceptions as some sort of compromise. Have you ever thought of what a rape exception (or other exceptions) looks like in practice? They just don't happen. How many abortion providers are willing to test the law? How many pregnant people are able to get a police report necessary to be exempted? How many abortion providers are even practicing in states with rape exceptions to their otherwise strict abortion laws?

Arguing about what exceptions should or should not be on the books is a distraction. It's only service is to placate the general public into accepting barbaric abortion bans.

[-] circuscritic@lemmy.ca 14 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

It's also the most logically consistent. I respect these shitstains infinitely more then Republican politicians who support exceptions.

Respect is doing a lot of work there, but really it comes to down to fact that at least they ACTUALLY believe abortion is murder.

All those other GOP politicians who support exceptions are just groveling maggots.

What? You believe it's okay to murder babies in certain circumstances? Get fucked.

If you're going to destroy the lives of countless women, at least do it because you have an actual deeply held conviction, and not simply that you want to win a primary.

Cool. Let's see a baby try to force its way out of him.

This fuck-knuckle has 5 kids. If any of them are girls, I'd bet good money he wants this because he wants to be sure they can't have an abortion when he knocks one (or more) of them up, as part of his Handmaid's Tale fantasy.

[-] Adulated_Aspersion@lemmy.world 35 points 2 years ago

Like.....what the fuck is going on right now?

[-] silence7@slrpnk.net 42 points 2 years ago

Right-wing Christian attitudes are being openly expressed.

We are reaping the rewards of "respecting religious beliefs".

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

[-] pivot_root@lemmy.world 21 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I support the serial gang rape of Senators who support this legislation in perpetuity. If they're going to support this shit, they should walk a few hundred miles in their victims' shoes.

What is this garbage talk about God controlling whether a woman gets pregnant or not? It's a biological function, if the egg is there when the sperm is there, you get babies. It is not some holy blessed event -- God causing babies is about as sensible as the stork bringing them.

This fucker deserves to be reincarnated as a women in medieval time and have a forced birth so he can experience what he puts women through

[-] Jaysyn@kbin.social 18 points 2 years ago

You first, asshole.

[-] MeanEYE@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago

These people should get intragastric balloon shoved up their ass and inflated so they can feel some of the "greatest healing" first hand. It should be done against their will as well since they claim it's not an issue. You know, not to be left out of the whole greatness. Not quite fair that only females get to experience it.

If anyone complains how "god didn't meant for balloons to be in our assholes", just make a counter argument: if that were true why did it make us fart then. Clearly air is suppose to be there.

I can't even believe what I'm reading.

Maybe this asshole is an example of a forced birth, it's why he believes in it.

Buddy, I hope you are forcibly raped with the biggest dildo in existence and not lubed either.
