"There's only one way we're going to catch all these rapists! Deny women healthcare!"
There’s no evidence for most of what Republicans belch, from voter fraud to an invasion of Mexican rapists. Over the weekend Kari Lake, the election-denying GOP candidate for Governor in Arizona, tossed out another boner during a radio interview, when she said Arizona’s tough abortion laws could lead to “locking up a lot more rapists.”
How limiting abortion leads to catching more rapists is a logic I can’t follow. Apparently, I’m not alone.
“There are absolutely no proven connections between lack of access to abortion and imprisonment of rapists,” said Jenna Panas, CEO of the Arizona Coalition to End Sexual and Domestic Violence. “I am confused and incredulous.”
Kari Lake herself never explained the sham causation, nor did she respond to multiple requests from the media for any research or proof that supports her statement. Julie Gunnigle, who’s the Democratic candidate for Maricopa County Attorney, said Lake’s assertion is a “bald-faced lie.”
“When I heard those comments, I was absolutely horrified, and I say that as someone who has not just prosecuted sexual assaults and domestic violence cases, but as someone who represents survivors in court trying to escape these situations.”
