Could this help stop these horrible anti-choice laws?
Advertisements [?]
We all know that SD and MS are in the process of passing legislation banning all abortions, including those for victims of rape and incest. Last night on Law & Order, a popular TV show, they tried a case where the child of a serial rapist was murdered by his mother; her defense was that he had genetically inherited his father's anti-social behavior. They actually had a term for it, but all I could remember were the initials, which were CD, I believe. Anyway, experts on the stand said that this mental disorder could be inherited and that there was no cure.

I know most DUers here agree that rape victims should be given a choice if they find they are pregnant. I'm just wondering if having this topic aired on a popular TV show might raise general public awareness of one very good reason why rapists should not be rewarded by forcing a woman to have their child. At this point, I'm for ANYTHING that will make people stop and think about this matter.

Does anyone know any more about this disorder? What do you think about this?
