    QFMFT. The liberal objection over "corporate personhood" is insane.

      How could we possibly know that, if they are unreported?

        Claiming the right to free speech is violated if corporate "people" can't donate unlimited amounts of money to politicians is insane.

          Women typically regret getting knocked up and claim they were raped five weeks later. That is what an unreported rape is.

            From a pro-life perspective, how can one morally support an exception on any grounds other than life of the mother?
            Agreed. I don't understand this either. A child is a child. How the child was conceived doesn't change the status of the child.

              For incest, you can take a tissue sample in utero and do a paternity test.
              That would entail a miscarriage risk.

                IIUC, they don't report it to the police, but will talk about it to studies/surveys/polls which promise confidentiality.

                  You would be surprised how many women claim even in studies that they were raped as a means of convincing themselves that they are not responsible for having a kid.

                    The right to free speech is violated when the government can literally ban books.

                      It would mean the government is able to prevent how much the corporate-owned New York Times can print in terms of editorials about the President. The law concerning the Citizens United decision was used to prevent the promotion of a film which was critical of a sitting senator (Hillary Clinton). How's that for insanity?

                                If corporations are people then they should pay the same tax rates as people.

                                If they want to admit they're not people then they can continue essentially paying zero net taxes.
