Cnn reports 5 states legally obligate rape victim parents to share parenting with their attacker

You have to realize the word "rape" has a pretty broad definition. A guy I used to work with was 18 and had a baby with his legally underage girlfriend. They're still together now, 5ish years later, but by the legal definition he raped her. I could see this law being used to make sure someone like him gets to maintain contact with his child. I'm sure there's more to the law than those few words you posted here. You shouldn't believe everything you hear without doing some research of your own.
