Capital Punishment For Rape?

Apparently, he/she... heshe doesn't remember the chastity belt and other assorted history of the persecution of women in America by Americans who took away her independence and called themselves hubby and daddy. Least they got the right to vote in the 19 teens.. How come the founding fathers didn't punish themselves?

Alexis de Tocqueville is a dumbass.

Child Abuse Statistics
From Vincent Iannelli, M.D.,

Child Abuse Basics
How many children are abused and neglected in the United States?
Each week, child protective services (CPS) agencies throughout the United States receive more than 50,000 reports of suspected child abuse or neglect. In 2002, 2.6 million reports concerning the welfare of approximately 4.5 million children were made.

In approximately two-thirds (67 percent) of these cases, the information provided in the report was sufficient to prompt an assessment or investigation. As a result of these investigations, approximately 896,000 children were found to have been victims of abuse or neglect?an average of more than 2,450 children per day.

More than half (60 percent) of victims experienced neglect, meaning a caretaker failed to provide for the child's basic needs. Fewer victims experienced physical abuse (nearly 20 percent) or sexual abuse (10 percent), though these cases are typically more likely to be publicized.

The smallest number (7 percent) were found to be victims of emotional abuse, which includes criticizing, rejecting, or refusing to nurture a child.
An average of nearly four children die every day as a result of child abuse or neglect (1,400 in 2002).

Who is more likely to be abused or neglected?

No group of children is immune. Boys and girls are about equally likely to be abused or neglected.

Children of all races and ethnicities experience child abuse. In 2002, one-half of all victims were White (54 percent), one-quarter were African American (26 percent), and one-tenth (11 percent) were Hispanic. American Indian or Alaska Native children accounted for 2 percent of victims, and Asian-Pacific Islanders accounted for 1 percent of victims.

Children of all ages experience abuse and neglect, but the youngest children are most vulnerable. Children younger than 1 year old accounted for 41 percent of all abuse-related deaths reported in 2002; three-quarters (76 percent) of those killed were younger than 4.

Better start juicing up old sparky... gonna be a busy year.

 

You can be for or against the death penalty for rape, but ithe death penalty for rape sure as hell ain't unconstitutional. This is a matter that should be decided by state legislators, not the federal judiciary.

 

It appears that the Supreme Court says, "no" to capitol punishment for both adult and child rapists.
