Tell Arkansas Assembly: Rapists Shouldn't Have "Visitation Rights"!

Created by J.W. on January 20, 2013

When Shauna Prewitt was 21 years old, she was raped in her last year of law school. She learned that her rapist had gotten her pregnant.

Shauna decided to keep her baby, and fell in love with her newborn girl. Then she learned the chilling truth: that in the vast majority of the US, men who father through rape have visitation rights on their children – and in 31 states, these women’s attackers can even claim custody!

We’re gathering signatures to help stop this atrocity one state at a time, and we’re starting in Arkansas, one of the worst states in the nation when it comes to protecting victims of rape.

Tell the Arkansas General Assembly: Protect these women and their children now.
