Colorado bill would prevent rapists from receiving parental rights

Here's an alarming fact. Out of the 50 states in the country, 31 allow some sort of visitation or custody rights for the father of a baby. Doesn't sound so bad does it? When you realize that the father is a rapist then your opinion might change.
