This puts Alabama literally one step away from forcing women to marry their rapists under the guise of having the rapists “take responsibility.”
I’m 100% sure this is where they are trying to head and where their next law will go.
I totally agree with you that there’s a component of not wanting the kid (and mom) on welfare. Heaven forfend!
