Though their methods are different, the Christian right is no different from the Afghan Taliban: one uses the courts, while the other uses whippings, stonings, etc. The goal is the same: to subjugate women, and turn them into the “ideal” woman that the idiot Chiefs kicker was having wet dreams about
This is undoubtedly cheered by the Republican Party as some sort of “win”.
Now they can deny the little girl the mental health she needs and they can complain when her child needs welfare.
WHAT THE HELL. SHE IS THIRTEEN YEARS OLD. Girls that age should be worrying about lots of things - the latest fashions, the dumbest new memes raging amongst their ilk, how hot that new exchange student who just arrived last Friday is. Stuff.
They should NOT be worrying about motherhood!!
They don't care because it hardly ever are the daughters of republican politicians who risk a rape. And should that happen, they can always take a weekend off in Mexico.
“ABC News reached out to Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves' office, several state lawmakers and the state's senators and congressional representatives in Washington regarding this story, but none responded.” 🤬
And of course, the moment she goes for any assistance whatsoever, the Republicans will be loudly casting her as a welfare queen. FFS this is so very broken.
She is lucky to have survived the pregnancy. Her body really, really wasn't ready for that.
Also, comprehensive sex-ed would have helped her advocate for herself after being raped, as opposed to blame and shame abstinence only programs.
Good thing this 13 yo will be well supported with free post-natal care, free childcare so she can continue her education and $$ to feed herself and her baby. Oh wait, that's Finland.
gotta get as may of those otherwise worthless brown and black babies into the school to prison pipeline ASAP.... cause you know... if clarence thomas has his way slavery will be back on the table before too long. gotta have the stock in place for that.
So what is Mississippi doing now to support this child and her infant? After all, if they’re so pro life they must be doing everything they can to financially support her, right?
At least she survived. At 13, death from pregnancy complications would be much more likely.
Put a pin in this story, because the man who raped this child will be in the picture at some point in the future. States just love forcing people to remain in contact with their attackers when a child results
