Michigan puts into practice what critics have been warning about for years:

[Embedded content]

In 2008, a young girl is kidnapped and held for 2 days, being repeatedly raped by an 18 yr old man who threatens to kill her if she tries to escape. A month after her rescue, the rapist is charged, offered a plea deal that drops a potential life sentence down to 1 year in jail, then let out after 6 months because of his mother’s health. He goes on to do 4 years for raping another girl between 13-15 years old a year later.

Rape victim finds out she’s pregnant, and rather than following parental and friendly advice chooses to carry the child rather than seek an abortion. She drops out of school, moves to live with family friends, and works to care for her child. 9 years later, the state of Michigan decides to investigate her application for welfare benefits, then looks into who the father is so they can stick him with child support payments and the bill for the child’s welfare benefits.

After finding out about the woman’s circumstances, the county prosecutor and county judge run a DNA test and determine that rapist is the child’s father. They lie that they had the mother’s consent in order to pass rulings that the rapist deserves joint custody and visitation rights, order the mother to move back home to within 100 miles of where the filing took place, and threaten her with contempt of court if she refuses to comply. The judge also ordered that the mother’s home address be provided to the rapist and his name added to the birth certificate.

But no, there’s no war on women./////

WTF. Is this Saudi fucking Arabia?
