33. they are saying that women lie about being raped in order to escape the ban on abortion

and the fact of the pregnancy, which wouldn't have happened if she was "legitimately" raped--should exempt her from the right to abortion. If the girl was innocent, there would have been no baby, see? So if there's a baby from a rape, slut, you get no abortion.

But this is a blessing because God meant to punish her by forcing her to give birth to the child, and give it away to good Christian parents. maybe next time she'll avoid being raped.

Unless she's black. In which case they hope she starves to death and the baby dies. How dare she ask for help.
