Lawmaker Whose Adopted Daughter Was Raped Wants To Restrict Abortion For Rape And Incest Victims

The stupidity and conceit of this asshole apparently know NO bounds. If you have any background in the case of his unfortunate adopted daughter who he went out of his way to bring into his home, then treated as 'demon possessed' and ultimately abandoned with someone who would rape her, you already know he's one fucked up individual.

AFTER this horrific situation that he put one young woman through, he apparently feels the need to victimize more who have already been victimized in the most intrusive, personal way possible and BY the very people who should be protecting them.

Yes, let's give rapists the right to make reproductive decisions for their victims.

Welcome to Saudi America.

"An Arkansas lawmaker who has recently sparked controversy for giving away his adopted daughter to a man who later sexually abused her is sponsoring legislation to make it harder for young victims to end a pregnancy resulting from abuse.

State Rep. Justin Harris (R) is spearheading HB 1424, which seeks to strengthen his state’s parental consent requirements for minors seeking an abortion. It’s one of a slew of anti-choice restrictions that the Arkansas legislature is currently considering.

Right now, Arkansas residents under the age of 18 can only get an abortion after getting consent from one of their parents. The court system can excuse them from this requirement if they go through what’s a called a judicial bypass procedure. Or, if they became pregnant as a result of incest, rape, or sexual abuse, they can claim an exemption to the law and waive the consent requirement.

Harris’ bill would tighten those requirements, removing the current exemption for victims of sexual crimes — making those minors’ abortion access dependent on permission from parents they may not feel safe confiding in."
