Forcing them to have the rapist's child.

America has lost its way.

Anyone who supports such a horrific policy has completely lost their way - and is clearly not qualified to "serve" the American people, advocating unnecessary suffering and condoning abuse.

We are seeing one of the biggest moral collapses in American history.

Women denied basic rights.
Children slaughtered in school.

Those are only two things on the list, it is much longer.

I don't know how to turn back the clock, but there needs to be a complete clean sweep of anyone who has supported these policies which seek to abuse and punish the American people.
