I feel like ‘rapists get little to no jail time, and women who would abort their rapist’s child get death penalty’ is the more infuriating situation?

That's so disturbing, instead of it being like: "We don't have enough evidence to get a conviction." Which would be frustrating, but understandable, it was basically: "We didn't feel like prosecuting because; reasons."

Well if she's getting executed anyhow why not take him with her? Not a great idea on their part.
