[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]People have so many opinions on how they think rape survivors should act, should behave, what they should do. In Alabama, male non-rape victims think they know survivors should not have abortions, because the women should care about the baby more and it’s her job to become a mom. The CP5 were horribly treated — but that doesnt mean people who care about police misconduct get to tell the rape victim that she’s recovering from her rape “wrong” and that it’s her job to uplift the men wrongfully accused.[/b] Get it? Rape victims recover how they need to recover, whether other people like their path or not. [/quote]

Who said she was recovering from her rape wrong?! Ppl are calling her out for her belief that the police did nothing wrong even with tapes and dna evidence. Ppl are letting her know it’s not ok to just assume that bc she went through something those 5 kids did not. It’s not ok for her to act as though those kids are guilty just bc they were in the park and the police said they did it. Get it?[/quote]

Right, just like wise evangelicals are calling out women who have abortions as murderers. Just like even though the rape victim went through something, it doesnt mean an unborn fetus has to suffer too, and people are letting pregnant victims know it’s not ok for them to terminate. Point being — whether you are advocating for strict abortion laws or advocating for an end to police misconduct, leave “we need to judge the rape victims because we know better” out of it. [/quote]

:shock:   What?  If you are going with a convoluted analogy, this would be closer to saying if the victim wanted to have an abortion and the wrong person was selected for the procedure and so the victim had the knowledge that something was taken away from someone else as a mistake on their behalf and that person was jailed because of the misguided notions of others while the rapist was never jailed for his crime.

And uplift is a strong  word.  Expecting that someone that cared about justice being served would be troubled about the wrong person being convicted isn’t exactly the definition of uplift.[/quote]
