| MTZehvor said: I do think the thread title is a bit misleading, as, according to the article, only the wife's husband is allowed to sue her. Unless the husband is the rapist, the rapist won't be the one suing. With that said, I agree, the law is a terrible idea across the board, even if you are pro life. The potential to threaten a rape victim with a lawsuit is not the way to support your position. The admittedly small silver lining is that this will likely very rarely happen, if ever. |
A husband can (unfortunately) still force a woman to have a baby against her wishes.
yes, I get a wife shouldn't go ahead and do whatever you want- a marriage won't work that way. However, what's the point on forcing a child if the husband or wife don't want it for specific reasons?
I know many women who don't want a child because of the pain, and many men simply want to wait until they're older. This law doesn't seem like much consideration was put into it before being passed.
Instead of protesting Trump, I think people should give logical arguments around this new law. I don't want to bash it to death with my ears closed- at the same time, I don't want to support it without thinking of potential consequences.
