What the fuck?
Why is there so much rape in Texas.
Holy shit!
What was the number before that?
This is a weak response, but I have been contributing lots of money to my local politicians, and I will be writing them regarding this (I am not in Texas.)
This is appalling.
(One can often find the donation numbers for their local politicians. The bigger donations are shockingly low, at least for the public donations. $100 a year will get extra attention from your local politicians. I am a crazy crank and I get real responses. Even from those I have not donated to. I highly recommend picking one and donating to them in your own name. Establish a relationship.
No, nothing untoward happens. But, the national politicians send me form letters. The local ones know my name. I get personal calls for find raising, but then I have 20 seconds to bend their ear. Yes, not a staff member, the actual politician calls me.)
I’m confused, I thought Texas solved rape???
Sure, it’s not illegal if we don’t prosecute 🤷
Republicans want this because it will continue the supply of prison slaves when the children are a little older.
That’s a lot of rapes. Aside from guns do Texans actually care about anything. They obviously don’t care about women other than sex objects.
Nobody else is saying this, so I will. I’m sceptical of this figure. Recognising that spousal rape is rape, it’s very hard to believe this number. “Rape-related” is very vague. It could mean women who have been raped before, who later become pregnant consensually. Pregnancies due to rape are simply not this common.
We’re on the precipice of rape being legalized in Texas.
System works as designed. Nobody should for a second think that this is some sort of unintentional side effect.
In their minds, 26,000 future workers or prison slaves. So for them, it’s all going according to plan.
It’s working as intended for the forced-birth party. Not only are women in red states relegated to second-class citizens, but those states are going to have a population boom. Which means that they’ll have even MORE representation in the House come the next census.
Human suffering is considered to be mere collateral damage as the GOP continues its pursuit of unchecked power.
~26000 births isnt a lot though compared to the 375000 births that occur in Texas every year.
It’s about 7%. That is a lot.
The real question is, what is the overall population growth rate compared with before? I wonder how many people are leaving TX, or (more likely) deciding to not move to TX, compared with previous years.
In a school with 1400 kids, 100 of them are rape babies. Figure that’s a high school, with four grades. 350 kids per grade. 25 people in each grade is a rape baby.
That’s like an entire class room.
No matter how you conceptualise it it’s a whole fucking lot of rape babies.
It also drives any one more progressive than a stone wheel out of the state meaning there’s just fewer democrats to vote against their dear leader
Sort of like gerrymandering but completely legal!
Texas hasn’t voted blue since 1976. It ain’t happening anyway.
Texas is very much a purple area. It could completely flip blue in certain areas, which is why you might have noted all the efforts to suppress the vote at the state level, such as throwing out Houston’s votes.
26k more dissidents in 20 years thanks.
26,000 rapes in the last nine months? If that’s true, they should be focusing on that more than abortion.
I promise you, survivors have been saying this for years.
That’s a crazy amount. That’s nearly 3000 rapes a month. Or roughly 100 rapes per day. And that’s only those that resulted in pregnancy. Actually for a state the size of Texas maybe it’s not that surprising, sadly.
That is astronomically bad. I know why women hate men. They are making a bad rep for all men. Disgusting.
Yeah, once you can stop the defensive toxic masculinity, and listen to women, it’s impossible not to be a feminist unless you’re truly evil.
oh gawd, and crybaby man-children complain about girls rejecting them, when girls are just trying to stay safe 🤦♂️
I’m not crying about rejection. But thanks for playing miss interpreting sentences that can have alternative meanings. Next week you can read into a meme I post and think it’s about your childhood.
Oh my gosh. I’m sorry. My reply/comment was very badly written. It was not directed at you. I meant to talk about how, in general, some men, who are child-like, take rejection so badly when they don’t understand the dangers women deal with when it comes to dating or other social interactions with men.
Again, I apologize. I should have looked over what I wrote before posting it.
I just want to see the two Benders make up.
And that’s just those that got reported.
I was assured by Governor Abbott that there wouldn’t be rapes because those are illegal.
There aren’t people illegally crossing the border, either. Oh wait… did no one think to throw that in his face at the time?
V O T E !
