This is not true. It’s the person who does the abortion who is incriminated. Too many false statements nowadays trying to bring out emotion in people (ie saying the raped child would go to prison) which is doing nothing but causing more conflict. Not just w the abortion shit but w everything
It doesn’t really change anything if it says the person doing the abortion. Because that could mean a doctor, but also the victim themself trying to perform some kind of dangerous abortion. It’s to scare people from doing any kind of abortion at all, which means forcing the victim to be pregnant. You can never take the law at face value.
The difference is the doctor is licensed in that state so they can’t perform the abortion no matter what, however the child can travel a couple hours and get an abortion legally. I agree there shouldn’t be any laws but these emotion inducing false statements involving societal issues do nothing but cause more conflict. Let’s at least be real about it
It’s not a false statement what they said, it’s more like what these laws actually mean. No law will say these things directly nowadays, but that’s how can very well be used in court or during some other kinds of legal proceedings. This is a post that brings awareness to these issues, and it is good if it brings up emotions because only when everyone can finally feel uncomfortable with the way things are, will this country change.
Fine. The law treats rape under the broader category of “adultery”, & multiple country reports note that SA survivors can risk being prosecuted for adultery because of how the burden of proof and misogynistic testimony rules work. The UK Home Office’s 2026 country report on Iran specifically says a woman who is a victim of rape risks being prosecuted for “adultery”. Iran also retains the death penalty for adultery & many normal sexual acts. Don’t ever defend the regime that murdered my family.
