A doom scenario.

Just for the ones who don't yet realise how horrible the USA's conservatives are, and how bad rape culture is.
This is what could happen if they pass all the horrible bills which are currently laying on the tables.

Imagine this.

You're a fourteen year old girl. You just got raped by your stepfather. Your mother doesn't believe you and your friends say you asked for it. After a while, you find out that you're pregnant. You don't want to have the child which would remember you of that horrible day again and again, so you go to an abortion clinic. They force you to undergo an ultrasound and as you're not pregnant that long yet, a transvaginal one as well. You're forced to listen to the foetus' heartbeat and to hear the doctor describe the not-yet-a-child in detail. They try to push you into keeping it. Then they tell you that you need the foetus' father's signature that you're allowed to have an abortion. As horrible as it feels, you want to do everything to get rid of the living memory of the rape. So you ask your stepdad. He says he didn't make you pregnant, he claims you're such a slut you probably don't even know whose baby it'd be. So you can't have the abortion. You don't see any other solution than to continue carrying your rapist's child. After about five months, the doctor tells you that there is something wrong. That the child has a chance of dying, and even if it is born alive, it will suffer for the rest of its life. You don't wish to bring someone into this world just to give him an infinity of pain, so you try once again to get an abortion, hoping that these changed circumstances will make a difference, especially as the child is also a threat to your own health. Unfortunately, after twenty weeks, abortions aren't allowed anymore, period. The foetus becomes more and more problematic, and one day, it dies. You feel sad for the loss of a living creature, yet in a way relieved as well to have saved the child and yourself all the suffering. You learn that a foetus that old has to be removed from your body when it dies because it won't get out otherwise, so you go to an abortion clinic once again, only to hear that you're now supposed to carry the dead child to term "because cows and pigs do". You're becoming desperate now, as you obviously don't want a dead body inside you for the next couple of months because, one, it's just weird, and, two, it poses a serious risk to your own health. It will most likely poison you, and you're not sure you'd survive. But as you don't see any other solution, you bear the dead baby for another three months, until you can finally get a caesarean. The doctors find out that your child is a stillborn, and because of some awesome new law, they can now sue you for murder. Because you were raped, so it is likely that you tried to kill the unwanted child, yes? Because you probably drunk too much while you were pregnant to forget about the rape, right? Even if those things aren't true, they won't believe you anyway. Because who believes women? All they know you weren't even raped, but you were just inventing an excuse to get an abortion, and when it didn't work you tried to kill it yourself and a fertilized egg is a person so you're a murderer! You end up in some juvenile detention centre, without anyone caring about you, no friends, no family, and even in the centre everyone hates you because you murdered your child...

To all victim-blaming fucktards.

I swear, if I ever hear a victim being blamed again for what happened to her/him, I'll force the blaming asshole to read http://projectunbreakable.tumblr.com/, http://swnorfolk.tumblr.com/, http://survivorstories.tumblr.com/ and all the other blogs like this up to the very last page, and then I dare them to say that those poor people deserved it again...
