Repeal all laws allowing rapists joint custody in situations where rape results in pregnancy.

Created by L.S. on November 15, 2012

Several states have laws that, in cases where rape results in pregnancy, allow the rapist joint custody of the child. This is appalling, because:

1. No woman should be tethered to her rapist for the rest of her life.

2. Nobody who would rape someone is fit to raise a child.

Let's work to get these laws changed. They don't benefit the child in this case, so there's really no reason to cause such a trauma for the mother.
