Tories rapeclause becomes law
« on: April 06, 2017, 11:55:36 PM »
With extra added avoidance of voting

Story is out of date because this sort of thing isfine under the current govt. Note it got through by a procedural measure, based on the govt lying about what was happening. Now law. Anyone who voted Tory, any justification?

Insane. There's no defence for this horrific legislation. Mind you, it's Tory, so I suppose it's a good plan in thier world.

Front page of the Daily Record today (a Scottish tabloid for those unfamiliar with this title) has a headline 'Ruth sticks up for brutal rape clause', where the story notes the Scots Tories describe this clause as being the 'most sensitive way' of dealing with the welfare cut.

They don't call her "Ruth the mooth" for nothing.


(Mind you, she has also been called "Tanky McTankface......)

Slightly off topic, if I remember rightly one didn't get child benefit for the first child when my children were young in the 70s.

I'm sorry I don't understand why people are conflating the two issues here. Are children conceived during a rape more financially burdensome than children conceived in happier circumstances? Isn't the real issue having the two child limit at all?

pretty much, it's the idea that proving rape for financial advantage and following the rules is unpleasant in the extreme.
