I am working on a theory. In order to fully grasp it I need to ask a quick question to the conservative members here. Would love a couple of replies. How old are you?
I think this is a pretty big reason why "letting the states choose" on something like body autonomy is pretty much a non-starter.
Yeah, but it gets worse as the rapist is in a relationship with the mother, who is pregnant with his baby AND while still maintaining his innocence. The mother was probably aware of this crime and attempted to cover it up. She should probably be charged as an accessory as well. She took her across state lines, got the abortion and knowingly lied about her boyfriend being the father of the 10 year old's baby ( I believe the intake form stated the father was 17 years old).
Taking her across state lines is not a crime. But yes, for the sake of the girl the mother should be investigated and charged if appropriate. Again, there are no degrees of "worse" when it comes to a 10-year-old getting pregnant.
Sure there is. If the mother knew about this and attempted to shield the rapist, then its a degree worse.
Not to parse words, but i definitely think there is. Would you not consider the two scenarios as one worse than the other? 10 yr old kidnapped while walking home from school is raped and impregnated by an adult male who is a complete stranger?… or… Mother watches and celebrates while boyfriend rapes and impregnate the daughter. Word gets out and mother takes daughter to abortion clinic to hide the atrocity and attempts to protect her bf? To me, I see a crazed lunatic pedophile on the loose. In the second I see sinister pedophile behavior Attempting to pass on and spread their lunacy. One would be an individual moving from target to target. Another is possibly creating a pedoliphic (?) cult.
I would agree.... a parent being involved is worse. That means the child is not safe, even at home. That's definitely a worse scenario.
Levels of horror. Even Hollywood has different grades. It is possible to have two things make you want to vomit, but one still be worse than the other.
Sure its horrific. But again, if this was done with the knowledge of the mother and they attempted to cover it up, its worse.
Really? You don't think being betrayed by your own mother would be worse than a stranger? If you can't trust your mother, who the hell can you trust? That child must feel like she doesn't have a single friend in the world.
