Missouri GOP Votes To Make Rape Victims Carry Pregancies To Term: "Bad Things Happen"

I oppose abortion on demand. But I also disagree with Missouri.

In my view, it is simply wrong — and perhaps even heartless — to force a pregnant woman to carry her rapist’s child to term.
Babykiller!
 
It's biologically impossible for a human to become pregnant at age 4.
You Lie!

A number of doctors over the years have verified it based on biopsies, X-rays of the fetal skeleton in utero, and photographs taken by the doctors caring for her.

There are two published photographs documenting the case. The first was taken around the beginning of April 1939, when Medina was seven and a half months into pregnancy. Taken from her left side, it shows her standing naked in front of a neutral backdrop. It is the only published photograph taken during her pregnancy. Hers is a rare, well-documented case of extreme precocious pregnancy

She had a rare genetic condition called precocious puberty. Using an outlier like that to make a point shows that you have no legitimate point.

What's the legitimate point in forcing a rape victim to stay pregnant?
 
Missouri state Senate Republicans took time away from their filibustering of one another to vote down two Democratic-led amendments to the state’s draconian abortion laws that would have allowed exceptions for rape and incest on Wednesday. In 2022, the Republican-led Missouri legislature passed strict laws banning abortion. The only exceptions at this point are to save the pregnant person's life or protect the pregnant person’s physical health.

Greg Razer wondered how his GOP counterparts in the state Senate rationalized their laws, pointing out that their position is the refusal to show compassion to a 9-year-old girl who is raped and forced to give birth: “What they’re arguing is intellectually indefensible. It makes no sense. And it’s morally indefensible.”

Republican Sen. Mike Moon took time away from defending child marriage to spend “12 minutes listing well-known people conceived through rape or incest after suggesting authorities shoot or castrate rapists.” And fellow Republican Sen. Sandy Crawford offered up this grotesque view of spirituality: “God is perfect. God does not make mistakes. And for some reason he allows that to happen. Bad things happen.”


Yep. Abortion will be on top of the ballot in November, and the campaign hasn't even got started yet. It's just February, and all of the distractions will be long gone after another long hot summer of anti abortion fanactics, and news from around the country of girls suffering horrible outcomes thanks to the inbred freaks of life that are in that article.
If you can't stand Missouri's laws, do not move to that state. If you are an adult and you and your daughter of 10 are having sex, move to a Democrat state since they rather enjoy such things happening in their state.

This is the Missouri law on rape.
Effective - 01 Jan 2017, 4 histories, see footnote  bottom
  566.030. Rape in the first degree, penalties — suspended sentences not granted, when. — 1. A person commits the offense of rape in the first degree if he or she has sexual intercourse with another person who is incapacitated, incapable of consent, or lacks the capacity to consent, or by the use of forcible compulsion. Forcible compulsion includes the use of a substance administered without a victim's knowledge or consent which renders the victim physically or mentally impaired so as to be incapable of making an informed consent to sexual intercourse.
2. The offense of rape in the first degree or an attempt to commit rape in the first degree is a felony for which the authorized term of imprisonment is life imprisonment or a term of years not less than five years, unless:
(1) The offense is an aggravated sexual offense, in which case the authorized term of imprisonment is life imprisonment or a term of years not less than fifteen years;
(2) The person is a persistent or predatory sexual offender as defined in section 566.125 and subjected to an extended term of imprisonment under said section;
(3) The victim is a child less than twelve years of age, in which case the required term of imprisonment is life imprisonment without eligibility for probation or parole until the offender has served not less than thirty years of such sentence or unless the offender has reached the age of seventy-five years and has served at least fifteen years of such sentence, unless such rape in the first degree is described under subdivision (4) of this subsection; or
(4) The victim is a child less than twelve years of age and such rape in the first degree or attempt to commit rape in the first degree was outrageously or wantonly vile, horrible or inhumane, in that it involved torture or depravity of mind, in which case the required term of imprisonment is life imprisonment without eligibility for probation, parole or conditional release.
3. Subsection 4 of section 558.019 shall not apply to the sentence of a person who has been found guilty of rape in the first degree or attempt to commit rape in the first degree when the victim is less than twelve years of age, and "life imprisonment" shall mean imprisonment for the duration of a person's natural life for the purposes of this section.
4. No person found guilty of rape in the first degree or an attempt to commit rape in the first degree shall be granted a suspended imposition of sentence or suspended execution of sentence.

During his State of the State address last month, Gov. Mike Parson touted that since the constitutional right to an abortion was overturned in June 2022, there had been zero abortions in Missouri. However, the governor did not account for legal abortions that happened under the state’s medical emergencies exemption.

In 2023, there were 37 abortions performed in Missouri, and between June and December of 2022, there were 15 abortions performed in the state, according to data obtained by The Independent from the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services.
