You read that right. In 31 states, rapists whose sperm swim well can claim parental visitation rights.
Holy Purple Jesus punch in a dirty bathtub, patriarch Man! Visitation rights for criminal vermin who ought to have all trace of their existence wiped from the earth. What freakin' patriarchal Mormon prick came up with that idea?
[It would not be long before I would learn firsthand that 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 enjoy. When no law prohibits a rapist from exercising these rights, a woman may feel forced to bargain away her legal rights to a criminal trial in exchange for the rapist dropping the bid to have access to her child.
Opinion: Wake up, it's not just Akin
When faced with the choice between a lifetime tethered to her rapist or meaningful legal redress, the answer may be easy, but it is not painless. For the sake of her child, the woman will sacrifice her need to see her once immensely powerful perpetrator humbled by the court.
I know it because I lived it. I went to law school to learn how to stop it.]

People without a uterus should shut up and stop making laws about women's bodies!
I'm looking at you, Paul Ryan, defender of every fertilized egg who would ban most forms of birth control.
Dipwad.
