Former GOP Official Claims 10-Year-Old Rape Victim Would 'Ultimately Benefit' From Having Baby

\u201cyour reminder that a ten year old child was raped and impregnated and the top three Republican responses were "it's a hoax," "it's a blessing" and "prosecute the doctor who helped her." fucking ghouls\u201d

\u201cNEW: The powerful Indiana attorney Jim Bopp told POLITICO the 10-year-old Ohio girl who crossed state lines to receive an abortion here should have carried her pregnancy to term and would have been required to do so under his law. W/ @meganmesserly. https://t.co/QHns484kQQ\u201d

\u201cWhen people tell you who they are, believe them.\u201d

\u201cGiven how monstrous these people are, slam them. Ask: "If they survive, should mother & child attend the same elementary school? Would the 8th grader have to attend parent conferences for the kindergartner? If the kindergartner misbehaves, will teachers call the 8th grader?"\u201d

\u201cJust so we are really crystal-clear on who the actual child abusers are.\u201d

\u201c[SA]\n\nA ten year old body can almost certainly not carry a pregnancy to term in a safe way.\n\nIt could very possibly kill her. It would definitely destroy her physically and emotionally.\n\nJim Bopp is okay with killing a raped fourth grader.\u201d

\u201cAnyone who refers to a 10-year-old girl as a WOMAN should probably be behind bars\u201d

\u201cMake more Republicans say these things out loud: "A 10yo child who was raped by an adult man should have to go to her 4th grade classes while pregnant against her will before she gives birth which has a high risk for complications or death. And I would make this required by law."\u201d

\u201cRepublicans are sticking to their word:\n\nThey think innocent little 10 year old girls who were raped should be FORCED to carry the pregnancy AND THEY HAVE TO SHARE CUSTODY with the rapist.\n\nRepublikkkans ARE TRULY EVIL F's.\u201d

\u201cJim Bopp is pro-rape, pro-birth, and pro-control of people with uterus\u2019. She\u2019s 10 years old. You\u2019re fucking sick in the head if you think this would be an opportunity. SHE WOULD MOST LIKELY BE DEAD IF SHE GAVE BIRTH TOO!!!!!!! That is NOT pro-life.\u201d

\u201cThere's a reason we say "pregnant people" instead of just "women" \u2014 a 10-year-old girl is not a woman. A 10-year-old is a child.\u201d
