Legally, not all “rape is rape”. Forced rape is rape. Statuatory rape is mostly an illegality based on state law of consent.
It's odd when people lump incest in with "in cases of rape and incest". Incest can be consensual or rape. If it's consenting adults, they knew what they were doing. If it's consenting minors, it's more teen sex with an ick factor added. If it is not consensual (or adult-minor statutory) it IS rape.
Planned Parenthood and others oppose parental notification because they cite the scenario where a girl has been raped by her father "who will not give permission". So the father should go on raping his daughter without prosecution? It is an odd challenge from the pro-death crowd. Their hypothetical prevents the authorities, the courts, and the family from be involved/exposed.
Based, of course, on the idea that a 16 1/2 year old is too immature to decide on a sexual relationship. But if she wants an abortion, well hell, clear the decks and get her in there, it's her right to hide it from her parents, according to the leftists.
Who's really waging a "war on women," people who don't want to pay for other peoples' abortions, or the people who are killing about 600,000 unborn women every year in the US?
