Today I learnt: That in some American States, the rapist (especially in the case of spousal rape) has EXACTLY the same legal rights to see their child as a parent who created a child through consensual sex. Most things I read on the internet don’t really shock me that much, and I don’t normally get involved in such topics, because honestly? I don’t know enough about them to argue a point.
Its not my usual domain. Heres an example: say your partner is abusive, and rapes you, and gets you pregnant. This is absolutely fucking shocking. (Source: girlprob ) Kitty. Three Hundred Words.

I was wary (having been schooled in suspicion of strangers who show up at 9 at night with improbable stories) but I looked.

Didn’t you hear the dogs last night? I shook my head again. Yes, but he’s not doing well; can’t walk and I thought I should find the owner. I will ask around, I said. Thanks, he said. Why did you do it, I asked. My dog once ran out once and collapsed. Oh, I said. That gratitude could be so simply expressed sometimes fails even the best amongst us. Tony Darrick Baker (tonydbaker)
