A District Attorney on MSNBC just brought up a potential chilling side effect of abortion bans

[tulipsandroses]

The segment was with DAs that say they will not prosecute abortion cases. One of them said, how could he prosecute a rapist, a case involving incest, and then turn around and prosecute the victim of that rape? Further traumatizing the victim. He further stated, rape victims may be afraid to come forward if they think they may go to jail.

1. mission accomplished nt

2. Frankly I think that's part of the idea.

Easier to get away with rape.

And rapists get an incentive to rape, it becomes just another way to breed.


Republicans. Fighting for rapists' rights.

[Captain Zero]

24. There's the Bumpersticker

Republicans:. Fighting For Rapists Rights

Republicans: Criminalizing Rape Victims

You could put your state name at the beginning of those Bumperstickers too. Such as.

Texas Republicans: Fighting For Rapists Rights

[RockRaven]

3. That's how Repukes/cons want it.

Not an unintended consequence.

[Murphyb849]

4. Now rapists can pick and choose the mother of their children 😢

[Lithos]

6. More than that

Rapists can use this as a way to maintain a perpetual threat to the woman. I raped you - you had my child. Because of this, I have a a legal right to be with you and can rape you with impunity. I control you utterly, I own your body, and you can't do anything about it.

5. Did anyone not notice that the GOP is pretty friendly with rape.

To use the IT phraseology. It's a feature not a bug.

[Cheezoholic]

7. So, this was Abbotts rape strategy

Some good 'ol fashioned coerced under the rug sweeping. Fascist pigs

[Lil Liberal Laura]

8. How about Marital Rape?

I can see this scummy SCOTUS decriminalizing it!

[dchill]

11. IOKIYAR.

[Lil Liberal Laura]

12. Sorry?

I'm unfamiliar with that term.

[dchill]

13. It's O. K. If You Are Republican.

[Lil Liberal Laura]

14. Thank You

And it's true!

[dchill]

18. It's a phrase that's been around for a long time now.

And WELCOME TO DU!

[CrispyQ]

27. Oh definitely!

Can the 19th be far behind that, as well?

[czarjak]

9. "If rape is inevitable, may as well lay back, relax and enjoy it"...

Said rapist Clayton Williams from Texas. (He was really rich too) Real Republican.

[dchill]

10. "...rape victims may be afraid to come forward..."

Duh. Intended consequences much?

[BadgerMom]

19. Apologies.

I didn’t see your comment before posting mine. I had the same reaction a bit after you did.

[dchill]

20. The more the merrier!

[Captain Zero]

25. Yes, Abbott will claim he reduced rapes

When this happens.

[BadgerMom]

15. "He further stated, rape victims may be afraid to come forward if they think they may go to jail."

I’m certain the good DA realizes that’s a feature, not a bug, in the eyes of the Republican forced birthers.

[notinkansas]

17. "A feature, not a bug."

Truer words....

[dchill]

21. Wonder how they'll prevent their victims from getting...

...DNA tests. Before Roe v Wade, those weren't a thing.

[Rhiannon12866]

16. I think you mean this report on MSNBC's "The Last Word:"

22. In our human history, marauding hordes would rape to spread their seed and extend their tribe.

Don't think this isn't the republicans' intention.

[no_hypocrisy]

23. I was thinking there will be more cases of pregnant women being killed.

For men who don't want to pay child support.

26. The law of unintended consequences is a real bitch
