Even if they are former presidents. |
Greg Abbott made that his top priority. No change in Texas rape statistics. It’s almost like republicans don’t care at all about prosecuting rape and just want a talking point to pivot to. Weird. |

I guess you need a funded police force and expedited processing of rape evidence. Why is no one demanding this?
|
Sounds like you are. What politicians have you personally contacted about it? |
They could start by processing the massive backlog of rape kits. They could start by investigating reported rapes instead of interrogating the victim like she’s the culprit. They could start by getting rid of the rapists in their own ranks. |
People have been demanding the processing of rape kits for years. Are you new to this country? Also this thread is about what happens in the immediate aftermath to victims and whether they are allowed to get the health care they need in the state they live in. Pretty outrageous to victimize victims twice over by making them travel far from home to get an abortion. |
You also need to believe victims so you don’t let serial rapists continue committing crime. But since we don’t have a police force that does that, we’re still going to have rape victims. So what are you going to do about those victims who inevitably become pregnant? |
Back when the police force was "funded" they still didn't process the rape kits, no matter how much women demanded it. Try again. |
Or even start investigating the rape before the birth of the rapists baby maybe? And without calls from Time Magazine? |
We manage to find billions for Ukraine and to support recent immigrants by the millions. There’s no money for rape kits by choice. |
This is not a new problem. |
Making ten year olds give birth against their will is. |
+1 The ignored rape kits and forcing girls and women to give birth to the products of rape are two sides of the same coin, misogyny. Both things let women know that they, their safety and their bodily autonomy don’t matter. |
Governor Northam's administration eliminated the backlog in Virginia during his time in office. |
Zero evidence. |
