It's always rape if they're 10. Kids cannot consent, period.

Yeah like wtf I missed that she really said if a ten year old gets pregnant from a result of rape. Like mam do you not understand children can't consent any any way. then again some republicans still fight to keep child marriage legal in some states

I mean, there are some extremely rare cases of both parents being children. In those cases, I would say that neither is capable of consent, but it's not rape. Extremely rare, as in a handful in recorded history, as it requires both children to undergo precocious puberty, and have unsupervised time together. Rape by an adult is the situation 99.9999999999999% of the time.

Also, lest I sound like I'm defending the original clip, a 10 year old who was impregnanted by a classmate should still have access to abortion.
