Here's an idea for Texas women: Report that "Donald Trump raped me" and get the morning after pill!

Texas governor says rape victims can take Plan B morning-after pill

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said this week that rape victims in his state can take Plan B, a pregnancy-preventing emergency contraceptive known as a "morning-after pill."

"We want to support those victims, but also those victims can access health care immediately, as well as to report it," Abbott said in a pre-recorded interview with KXAS-TV and The Dallas Morning News slated to air on Sunday, the newspaper reported.

"By accessing health care immediately, they can get the Plan B pill that can prevent a pregnancy from occurring in the first place. With regard to reporting it to law enforcement, that will ensure that the rapist will be arrested and prosecuted," Abbott added, according to the Morning News.

Texas women could report that they were raped by Donald Trump or Greg Abbott, and since the morning after pill is taken the morning after, there's won't be time to put a woman through some sort of tortuous credibility-assessing process and she'll have to be given the pill right away.

The bottom line is that Texas Governor Greg Abbott is incredibly stupid.

And then they'd be prosecuted for filing false police reports. Not a good idea. Ocelot II Sep 2022 #1

Rape is traumatic, but I’m guessing he doesn’t see it that way.

Not every woman is going to report, or want to report, their rape…. Especially in cases of incest rape…. or Spousal rape, acquaintance rape, date rape….
