when rapists are not on the streets? Fathers who rape their 12-year-old daughters are a prime example. But rape is basically a crime which begins at home.

(252,133 posts)5. Lawrence makes a point of saying what the SCOTUS justices refuse to
That some of the "women" that the justices say should just go ahead and give birth - are actually "girls" of 11-13 years old.
