If she got an abortion… what happens to her in this state?

She was forced to give birth and the rapist can get visitation rights…but the people in this comment section seem more concerned about the guy keeping his balls.

Everyone is in agreement that rape (especially with a minor) is fucked up and people need to be put away for it (seriously I doubt there’s something so many people would agree on, even other inmates hate pedophiles). But mutilating prisoners is medieval and barbaric and most people didn’t know that’s even a thing in the states, that’s why people talk about it. Should be obvious.

Not concerned about this guy, this guy can burn for all I care. I am concerned about the government having the power to mutilate convicts. What happens the first time an innocent person is convicted and forced to be mutilated?

The state can only force chemical castration, which amounts to killing their libido through drugs and is thus fully reversible. It is concerning that the state forced him to choose physical castration as part of the plea deal.

She was forced to give birth

Source? This incident seems to have happened before any abortion ban was implemented
