i'm trying to get over their having rights in the first place. this kind of law to me represents a party that is pro rape as they are con everything else female, shameful.Imagine you’ve been raped. Given 1 our of 5 women experience rape in their lifetime, this is not a far reach. If you have the courage, you report the rape, and may undergo an uncomfortable physical and verbal examination. You are greatly admired for taking the step. Soon, you discover you are pregnant.Most states will aid a rape victim who seeks adoption or abortion, but the majority of states have no aid or laws to help the women who choose to keep the child of a rape. Even without help, you opt to have the baby. You find that some shame you for this decision, “Why would you want to keep it?Who does that? Wouldn’t the child remind you of the rape everyday?” You ignore them and move on with your life, only to find yourself in court of law, eight years later, fighting for the custody of your child with – your rapist.
the law is bent in favor of the male to hold the trophy after he completes the act, while the woman he violated gets labled and further raped by the law, this one has to go men who rape deserve to have that same fear and all that comes with it at the feet of Bubba his cell mate.
Hard to believe? It happened to Shauna Prewitt, who wrote about her personal experiences in a Georgetown University paper, called, “Giving Birth To A ‘Rapist’s Baby.’” Now an attorney, Prewitt lets us know there are 31 states that allow a rapist to enjoy the same parental rights as any father, which can lead to a horrible re-victimization for the mother and child. In her CNN interview (below), last year, Prewitt said most of the problem is ignorance, and how society views rape victims. Some people still show sympathy for the rapists when rape cases are brought to court. We saw that in the Steubenville rape trial.CNN aired their interview with Prewitt’s during the shockwaves of senatorial candidateTodd Akin‘s statement that in a ‘legitimate rape,’ a women’s body would reject a pregnancy. He was supported by Republican voters to end. It added to the barrage of demeaning statements being hurled at women via politicians, as were the misogynist laws being introduced. Rape victims/survivors found themselves again being scrutinized by society and by law
