So I think healthcare in general should be free, and that’s including abortion, but just a question. Does any state pay for any medical bills for injuries caused by a crime?
For example, if I got mugged and stabbed, would the state pay for my hospital bills, or would I be responsible for those?
Obviously, being impregnated by a rapist isn’t the same as being stabbed, but the state not paying for your care doesn’t seem abnormal in the broken system we already have.
One would have to look at Iowa statutes and the state constitution to see if there might be a problem with treating victims of one type of crime different than you treat victims of other types of crimes.

If you ask me the person paying should be the rapist .

These fuckers will fully legalize rape before they legalize weed.
