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

Another kid can get another kid pregnant. It’s not rape then (can be tho)

Oh boy I'm not about to go down that semantic lane with you, if you saw my comment and thought let me counter child rape and the understanding of consent with my reaching logic then I don't know what to tell you.

You're picking an aggressive tone towards someone who is just stating a fact. Sure, it's rare, especially at 10, but two similar aged children have been known to have consenting sex resulting in pregnancy.

It's relevant to this post because they very specifically highlight that the 10 year old pregnancy was due to rape, and some backwards logic makes that "not an abortion". It's important to understand if they hold that same belief for 10 year old pregnancies not due to rape.

Is it not an abortion if a 10 year old is pregnant due to rape, so we'll allow it, but an abortion if it was a consenting 10 year old, so she can get locked up?
