re: #32 EPR-radar

Here’s an amusing party trick —- confront a hard-line (i.e., no rape exception) “pro-lifer” with the proposition that such an abortion ban amounts, in some sense, to a state endorsement of rape. After all, the rapist gets to procreate without any of that pesky business of getting consent.

Not only gets to procreate, but in many states of the union, gets parental rights to his progeny, such as visitation rights. In short, they’re not only endorsing rape, but also saying the victim has no right to prevent the rapist from having a part in the child’s life.
