Granted all of that, is it then preferable to simply eliminate the rape exception?

Does the government put any impediments in the way of women seeking birth control, morning-after contraception or abortion? This might make a case for taxpayers to bear some cost for the sequelae of these policies.

I AM talking about the U.K. Nothing in my post implies otherwise. Others, including perhaps you, may have assumed I was erroneously talking about the U.S.

Is anyone forcing her? If it was rape, there is a rape kit. If it wasn't rape then no extra funding.

Sold into slavery and mum should be put to death.

"If it was rape, there is a rape kit. If it wasn't rape then no extra funding. "

Are you under the impression that use of a "rape kit" proves or disproves whether a rape has occurred?

I'm okay with there being no rape exception at all, on the theory that child tax credit policy is not about fault or blame.

But I still don't see why getting rid of the rape exception entirely is any less harmful or cruel to rape victims than having one.
