You get raped, you're going to 'accept this gift,' or so Sanctorum says. Really, that is the religious right's philosophy. Just like the Taliban.

The right have been calling for women on welfare to be forced to marry someone, anyone, to get them off the dole. That's what this single motherhood makes criminals push is about.

What if the rapist or just the father, can't be found, or isn't going to support the woman and the child? Then the same thing happens.

And if a man is held legally responsible and can't make enough money to support a child, they want him in jail, and the woman will be on the dole again if she can't find a job.

These people are destroying democracy with this stuff and they think it's God's will. Dangerous.
