There is definitely no way to prevent absolutely all rape in the country, but there are ways to significantly cut down rape

America's public schools do not properly address animalistic sexual desires and behaviors during sex education and fail to react proactively and effectively to sexual assault within schools. These particular problems would be solved by large but not total decentralization and privatization of the education sector so that children get a proper sex education and have open communication with trusted adults, especially in less wealthy communities where sexual violence is more prevalent and community outreach to youth is necessary. Community-led restorative and informative programs regarding sexual violence for both youth and adults would also significantly reduce sexual violence. Regarding the issue you brought up in your comment of uncertainty in whether or not sexual assault is the actual cause of the pregnancy, there are non-invasive methods to identify the father of a fetus that will resolve this issue. The issue that you brought up of shame after being sexually assaulted will definitely be alleviated by community-led restorative programs and proper sex education in public schools. In your comment, you also said that people will lie about getting raped to get an abortion, but a woman should have proper legal documentation showing that she reported and was a victim of sexual assault. Women lying about getting raped to get an abortion does not seem to be a problem at all in states where abortion is only legal for victims of rape.

Elizabeth Warren Walks Back Murder Comments

Congressional Democrats broadly denounced the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Friday morning, after Republicans started accusing Sen. Elizabeth Warren of excusing violence.“No one's condoning this,” said Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.). “Violence never is the right answer for anything. And it was a horrible murder, a tragic loss for his family.” Warren this week condemned the shooting, but added that people “can be pushed only so far.”"We'll say it over and over," Warren said on MSNBC’S “The ReidOut.” " Violence is never the answer. This guy [Luigi Mangione] gets a trial who's allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth, but you can only push people so far, and then they start to take matters into their own hands."In a statement to POLITICO, Warren said, “Violence is never the answer. Period. I should have been much clearer that there is never a justification for murder.” Top Republicans denounced Warren's comments and the walked-back rhetoric, with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) calling it “inappropriate and dangerous.”Some House Democrats asked about the incident on Thursday pivoted the conversation to discuss policy options on health care or gun safety.“I don't really know that this is really a space that Congress normally weighs in on,” said Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas). “But at the end of the day, I think it’s an opportunity, because now people are talking about health care and to talk about the fact that this industry has honestly not been as helpful as it could be.”“Violence is never the answer,” said Rep. Troy Carter (D-La.). “We know that there are people suffering, there’s great challenges in healthcare. There's great challenges, and people have, in fact, been wronged, but a process of governance is the way to address that, not violence.”And Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) who denounced the murder, said the killer should be prosecuted and that “I do know that allegedly a ghost gun was used, and we should also ban ghost guns. There's no reason for them beyond the streets.”
