In the vast majority of states -- 31 -- men who father through rape are able to assert the same custody and visitation rights to their children that other fathers have.
The 31 states where rapists can sue for custody and/or visitation are:
Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wyoming.
I ask that the Obama Administration please rectify this and ban rapists from forcing their victims to be tethered together for the rest of their lives. They are not fathers, they're monsters.
