Laws are about how things "should" be, no need to make it complicated by asking them to think through practicalities.
Actually, the conservatives I know typically blame the 10 year old. "She was too developed" or "she wore a two piece bathing suit "

How about throwing the garage that did this to her and/or allowed this to happen in jail? As should be the case across this country. Outrage on abortion but never, ever any outrage at how children are abused in this country.

Just look at this thread, the prolifers all want to know the details of who committed the crime and whether her parents are sufficiently awful people that they can rest assured this wont happen to them or theirs (because they only associate with nice people). Zero concern or sympathy expressed for the actual child.

What kind of person would talk to the press about this 10 yo? The kind of person who wants the public to understand the real life negative consequences of policies they support. The kind of person who wants legislators to know the real life consequences of legislation. The kind of person who knows there are other underage kids in similar situations and is speaking out so that those other abused kids and their allies know that there is help for them and they still have choices, although access is harder despite people being willing to help.
