So there is over 26,000 rapists in Texas alone? I kinda find that hard to believe.
Edit: As of 2024, Texas had a reported rape rate of 51.1 per 100,000 inhabitants, with a total of 14,824 cases reported. This rate is a reflection of the number of reported rape incidents and not necessarily the number of convictions. worldpopulationreview.com/…/rape-statistics-by-st…
Additionally, it was noted that in 2020, there was a significant number of rape offenses in Texas, but the clearance rate for these offenses had decreased. In 2020, there were 1,828 arrests for 13,327 reported offenses. This decrease in clearance rate suggests that fewer rape cases were being solved or leading to arrests. politifact.com/…/texas-had-highest-number-rape-of…
Someone in Texas should propose a law that makes rape punishable by life in prison, minimum, and failure to pay child support punishable by chemical castration (it’s reversible). Watch these fuckers go to the mat defending a rapist’s right to get off without major consequences.
The consequences almost don’t matter. Rape is very hard to prosecute often, and women don’t come forward about it because they are not believed and ridiculed. Our country sucks.
Nobody else is saying this, so I will. I’m sceptical of this figure. Recognising that spousal rape is rape, it’s very hard to believe this number. “Rape-related” is very vague. It could mean women who have been raped before, who later become pregnant consensually. Pregnancies due to rape are simply not this common.
That’s the original scientific letter that all the other articles are based on. They fully explain their methodology and at first glance, it all seems to check it out. So yes, pregnancies due to rape really are that common, at least in the backward states of the USA.
This might sound horrible, but what would any lawmaker or politician in Texas (or who supports outlawing abortion) do if they got raped or someone they loved got raped?
Well of someone they loved got raped it means they were asking for it and therefore cheating on them /are a slut, so they deserve it or something along those lines.
Sure, maybe. Not every rape will result in pregnancy though, that’s the point. For the to be 26k pregnancies resulting from rapes, there must have been more than 26k rapes. Which is an absolutely ludacris number of rapes. That’s the point being made: >26k rapes is a fucking insane amount of rapes.
A) it’s a very large state, nearly as large as Alaska. Originally or was going to become several states, but it being admitted to the union prior to the civil war as a slave state the leaders of the country chose to leave it as one huge state because they wanted to keep the ratio of slave and non slave states equal.
B) they used to be an independent country (like Hawaii). Nevermind the fact the only reason they asked to join the Union was that the nation of Texas was broke and couldn’t pay their bills.
C) they’re quite populous, nearly as much so as California.
Basically, when you’re second best at everything and broke af you get a chip on your shoulder.
Texas is that guy in the giant lifted truck who is insecure about how they look. They are as proud as new Yorkers are about their little slice of crap. but unlike NY who promotes we got the best experiences/opportunities, they value freedoms. Except they REALLY REALLY dont. Ita a huge lie they lie to themselves and everyone else about constantly.
Wait a sec. In the event of rape, I thought God stops the pregnancy. Or, the women’s body magically rejects it because they are not soul mates. Or, whatever other evil, disgusting, nonsense, bullshit these idiots dream up to try and justify torturing women.
I think the old testament prescribes taking some kind of elixir to stop the pregnancy if there’s adultery. As far as morality goes the bible has genocides where killing women and children is demanded.
Imo rape kids are the intention of these bills. White Christian Nationalists think women have too much control and they want to use the state to enforce their own beliefs in power and control.
And an alarming amount of people, including lawmakers beleive something along those line, or “if its legitimate rape, the body has ways of shutting it down”
So they will think if you got pregnant from it then it wasn’t really rape then was it? Because if it was “real rape” God/ your body would have stopped you from getting pregnant.
They care about size, and relate everything large to their state with shit like “Texas sized!”
…which 1: tooootally not compensating for anything, and 2: is hilarious because regarding US state size, Texas is #2 by a massive margin, measuring in at about 0.5 Alaskas.
Neglected, reviled, emotionally abused, poorly educated children (which many of these children will be due to the situations they are being born into) will make great little conservative voters.
Sat next to some pro-life fucks who were stone-silent during his abortion material in the bible belt. How do you not know his branding before you come to the show? Made me very uncomfortable when I was laughing. I was like 19 yo at the time. If that happened now, I wouldn’t feel the least bit uncomfortable because I’m much more confident in my views.
Yeah “the enlightened” kind of conservatives, they didn’t even read the bible by their own capabilities, they just sat at the church and listen to whatever bullshit the MFs at charge say in the name of god(same MFs at charge who groom they children in the meanwhile), and they want to go out to the streets to preach over the “sinners”.
Poor MFs they are just plain dumb tbh, there should be a law to avoid those bastards to vote.
