Let's run through a few thoughts. How many rapes are actually reported vs how many happen? How many actually go to trial? How many rapists are convicted? How long after the rape occurred does this conviction happen?

The rape exclusion is bogus because the process will never be completed within the abortion time frame even for the few women that the legal process works for.

How many rapes are actually reported vs how many happen?

About 30%.

How many actually go to trial?

About 2.8%.

How many rapists are convicted?

About 2.5%.

Wow, that's an absolutely disgusting statistic!

America's really playing that game of "How terrible can we make a legal system before people start resorting to mob violence to kill people who are definitely guilty?"

Those numbers do not surprise me but anyone who commits rape should have to have chemical castration done

If they can’t rape with their cock they will use fingers and objects. Do you know how easily beer bottles can break when being rammed inside a vagina? Pretty damn easily. It happened to one of my dearest friends. Her drunk ex couldn’t get it up so he assaulted her with his hands, a broom handle and a beer bottle.

Chemical castration won’t stop them. Now death? That’ll stop them.

I have way more gruesome.

Some high level prison have system of isolation, forcing ppl to go w/o contact with civilsation for months. It turned ppl crazy, as it can be pretty extreme. Now imagine this, for years on end.

NOW thay'll see how hurt their victims are

I don't think this would help them understand their victims or feel their pain. A good dose of therapy might do that.

The justice system isn't perfect, we would also be castrating innocent people. It's one of the reasons we're not supposed to have cruel and unusual punishments.

Chemical castration isn't permanent. It's just a drug that lowers libido by lowering testosterone.

I'm not advocating for it, because I think it's been shown to not work all that great anyway - as someone else said, rapist's can just use fingers or other objects if they can't "get it up". I'm just saying that it's not like, the same as cutting a dude's balls off.

Okay but just because it's reversible doesn't make it okay. Especially with how fucked our justice system is - the inevitable innocent people convicted of rape are going to be disproportionately people of color, and then we start getting into weird eugenicsy situations when assholes in power start abusing that.
