Is motherhood now against the law? How may teen mothers in housing projects? How many teen mothers have abortions?
Lets just suppose we read an article about a 34 yr-old black pimp, Rulon, who never attends Church because he worships the ALMIGHTY DOLLAR. He has collected a dozen or so 13-16 yr-old runaways, dressed them in salacious clothing and sent them out on the streets as prostitutes, after raping them for *experience*. He keeps them controlled in an isolated tenement and threatens them with hell and damnation if they try to leave. They are encouraged to take birth control, but if they get pregnant - Rulon sends them to the welfare office for food stamps. Their babies are either aborted or put up for adoption...especially the boy babies.
Would there be a demand for LE and CPS to step in and arrest Rulon?
Just have to wonder if there would be the same criticism of LE.
Well, I guess we should just turn these girls back over to their nasty drooling old rapists, because other girls are also pregnant.
Non-sequitor argument.
First, you compare all 19 & under teen moms (your words, "teen mothers") vs. 17 & under teen girls in this situation--which means they were impregnated 16 & under.
Secondly, you need to know the dynamics of this cult to know that not only were there not a whole lot of teen boys around to even be remotely considered as the fathers in these cases, the reality is that these girls were given mock weddings to a man already married--a man much older than them.
Which leads to point #3, which is that it's statutory rape for such a liaison (minor girl/adult male). In your "housing project" comparison, a 17 yo male, for example, who gets a 17, 16, or 15 yo girl pregnant is NOT statutory rape. Therefore your false assumption is that these "housing project" pregnancies are always actionable by law enforcement...a false assumption.
No, but statutory rape is.
Most teen mothers also have teen fathers and appalled “how could this happen?” parents. Not old men “spiritual husbands” and parents who pimped her out for religious props.
In fact it looks like Jeffs, like the Communists before him, thought the family ties were the strongest ties besides those to the cult; and so had to be severed. They apparently moved children around so that they wouldn't have any real parents or real parenting; just the cult.
Oh Gawd, another defender of decrepit perverts raising and brainwashing little girls to be their sex slaves. Brother.
Please name for me one person who has been arrrested on charges of "motherhood."
Having a child is obviously not against the law.
Raping a 14 year old is, however, against the law.
It is illegal, and every adult male at YFZ who engaged in such assaults should spend the rest of his miserable days - may they be short and painful! - in prison.
Look!!
Over THERE!
Yep. If the mother is 13 and the "daddy" is a fifty year old pedophile = it's against the law.
You bet on it.
And no - that thin little layer of fake "religion", ugly dresses and "prim" looking children is not a cover for child rape.
