Abbot Claims Prosecuting Rape Will Eradicate Rape In Texas

Texas Governor Greg Abbot explains why no exemptions for rape and incest are in the new anti choice laws in Texas by saying victims have 6 weeks to find out they're pregnant with a rape baby and get an appointment at one of the few clinics still operating (even if they're unconscious, hospitalised, incarcerated, get covid (which means a multi week wait), or held captive), so they aren't even impacted, and they're going to arrest and prosecute rapists, and that will definitely end rapes in Texas.
I suppose he's not aware that Texas has been prosecuting rapists since it became a nation, and later as a state. Somehow new rapists keep popping up, ruining the perfect plan.

He conveniently ignored the incest portion of the question because there are no plans to stop incest in Texas.

If someone can be arrested and prosecuted as a rapist, then they have already committed the rape. So this approach can, at best, deter serial rapists.
But that's nitpicking; the whole concept fundamentally misses the realities of what rape is and how it happens.

I don't give a fuck that the chuckleheads in Texas passed this idiotic law -- it's Texas and you knew what you were getting when you rooked that shithole from Mexico. No, what terrifies and infuriates me is that SCotUS totally smiled at this bullshit like it was a cop expecting a blowjob from you for not writing a ticket.

Notice how the same assholes who yelled "ACTIVIST JUDGES!" are silent now.

Passed a law deputizing invasive zealots, with cash prizes, is an abuse of public trust and public funds.

Don't want Westboro types angling to become GOD's Bounty Hunters. Horrible idea for the newest reality show.

Bad girls, bad girls
Whatja going to do
When TX sharia clowns
Come for you

Pray the Justice Dept makes quick order of this moronic mess.

Turns out there is a backlog of well over 5200 rape kits in Texas that are awaiting testing, and over 230 police departments that didn't report how big their backlog is, so that number could easily be doubled or more.

Hard to believe he's a bit serious about stopping rapes in Texas considering his track record on getting them investigated or prosecuted, and that he hasn't requested any more funding for testing kits or investigating rapes to go along with this attack against rape victims.

Lol…their idiotic law is being enforced, much to their shagrin, by out of state, pro choice, disbarred convict lawyers who hope to lose their cases.
Anti choice groups are outraged, 1) because this law was designed for them to steal money from their political rivals, not for pro choice people, and 2) they know the law is unconstitutional and that actually using it will expose that in court, then they won’t be able to scare people out of providing health care services in Texas under threat of lawsuit and fines.
LMFAHS!!
