“Yet he says nothing about going after this child’s rapist!”
Because, Hunter
Because Joe.
This is of a greater concern than the fact that a 10-year-old child is pregnant, and cannot get an abortion in the state in which her family lives. Any male who would abuse a child in this manner is both nasty and brutish, and his life should be forfeit in any just world.
But we do not live in a just world, or even a very pragmatic one. It is all about who can be blamed, and how that blame should have consequences steeped in flaming emotions, without regard for the justice or practical implications.
