Vote the GOP out 2014! If we don't then we will see them trampling on a woman's right to chose the course of her life. They are despicable and beneath our contempt! Don't let this happen to you or someone you love.

Vote them out!

7. There general line of stupidity, niyad...However...

Imagine it’s Friday, and you are waiting for your child’s father to pick her up for his weekend visitation. When the doorbell rings, it will mean seeing your rapist again, and handing your child over to him. If this mind-boggling scenario seems far-fetched, think again. The prospect of spending the rest of your life co-parenting with a rapist-father is nauseating, but that could become the law of the land under Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan.

When Romney aligned himself with Ryan and the militant, absolutist Republican majority in Congress, he signed up to oppose all abortions without exception—even if a woman’s life is at risk or a pregnancy is the result of rape or incest. Thousands of women all over the country who now can legally end a pregnancy caused by rape would instead be forced to carry the child to term. In most states, that means submitting to the rapist-father’s assertion of paternal rights regarding visitation, religion, education, health care and countless other issues. And this week, the GOP convention will adopt a platform endorsing the no-exceptions abortion plank. Welcome to the GOP’s shocking approach to women’s rights.

It turns out that in 31 states, a woman who carries a rape pregnancy to term has no effective way to block the rapist from asserting his paternal rights over the child he forced on her. In those 31 states, it is not unusual for a rapist to assert his parental rights over his victim’s rape-child, according to lawyer Shauna Prewitt, who wrote a 2010 article about it in the Georgetown Law Journal. The mother will be at risk of spending decades co-parenting with her rapist and encountering him at family events for the rest of their lifetimes. The stakes are enormous for the estimated 25,000 to 32,000 girls and women impregnated by rape each year.

8. all of that I knew, I was just wondering if they were really stupid enough to single him out

as some sort of example.

actually, when you think about it, there isn't much difference between the rapist having PARENTAL RIGHTS and being forced to marry your rapist. same lack of caring for the victim, same tender concern for the RAPIST. absolutely sickening.

6. it is Ohio

The governor, sec of state, state auditor, both state house and senate and most of the supreme court (judges run from a political party), are republicans, Boehner' seat will always be his as long as he wants it. Steubenville rapists.......yes if he wants 'parental rights', well it is Ohio.
