“Regina hadn’t yet explained to her daughter how a baby is made, because she didn’t think Ashley was old enough to understand. “They need to be kids,” Regina says. She doesn’t think Ashley even realized that what happened to her could lead to a pregnancy.”
That really got me, and this ignorant thinking sadly made things worse as it made the child unable to convey what happened. I have a 12 year old daughter and she’s been learning about her body and the biology of humans/making babies since she was like 8. They sell books designed to ease them into the topics, and overall it has made it very easy for her to bring up any issues or questions she’s having as she grows up.
Mix an education system designed to keep people stupid about sex, and restrict family planning, and this all starts to seem deliberate. Like this is exactly what the government of these states want to happen.
