I have always said and will continue to say that we need to support women and girls. There should be easily available healthcare for all women/girls (based on women's bodies and not the default male), available free contraceptives, proper sex education in public schools, and special support services widely available because women/girls are too often targeted for unwanted sex and left behind in education and other institutions. All communities from sea to sea.
We have to erect an impenetrable wall between State and Church. Beliefs are one thing--laws another. They are separate for good reason.

While it may be hard to read the individual stories it is even harder for each of the girls therein to live their lives. We must be there for them.
