In reply to the discussion: Raped, pregnant and ordeal not over - 31 states give parental rights to rapists [View all]burnsei sensei
(1,820 posts)11. I'd like to see a list of those 31 states.
Then, I'd like their governors and legislators, on all levels, to be humiliated publicly, endlessly.
I think rapists have rights.
1. the right to have evidence collected against them.
2. the right to a trial.
3. the right to serve their punishment in general prison populations. And,
4. the right to be humiliated, most especially by women, for the remainder of their lives.

OP
In many states there's nothing barring a rapist from filing for full custody.

Not kidding. Know they're white male. But they would give nominal rationalizations. What are they?

You are basically right. It's men. But in the USA (this election is in USA) it's mostly white males

There are zero states with laws specifically granting rights to rapists. The answer is "laziness"

Is there any pattern to the lawmakers (party, religion, education, etc) other than white male?

Even if a poor woman can get past the horror & decide to keep the child--this is a lifetime of hell
