Gisele Pelicot, whose husband drugged her and allowed different men to rape her over the course of 10 years, is holding a public trial and allowing her name to be published, even though she didn't have to.
Her husband wished for a private trial, which would have allowed their names to remain anonymous, but she wanted to shame the men who have raped her and hold them responsible publicly for what they've done.
She told the court that she hopes her testimony might help spare other women from similar ordeals. She said she pushed for the trial in open court in solidarity with other women who go unrecognized as victims of sexual crimes.
Her strength is so unbelievable.
I am really fucking tired of people who have never lacked anything, never had a check bounce, never had to "go without" because there wasn't money, never had to stretch a dollar with turkey hotdogs, tuna fish and tuna casserole, never had to just "hope" they didn't get sick because they couldn't afford insurance, never scrapped to put together rent money, and never had to go without income tell ME what it's like to struggle.
Fuck Donald Trump.
Fuck Elon Musk.
And fuck fake poor person JD Vance.
Texas women are forced to deliver dead babies.
Texas women are forced to carry non-viable fetuses.
Texas women are now unable to conceive due to sepsis.
One woman was forced to carry a baby, missing much of its skull, for months just to bury it.
Some women had fatal fetal anomalies and yet were still denied abortions.
Some had their water break too soon and were turned away from hospitals.
Texas has enacted some of the nation's most restrictive abortion laws.
Women are suffering, Ted Cruz doesn't care less. You know what he’s worried about? Losing his Senate seat.
Tired of Ted Cruz using women’s bodies as a political playground? Vote for @ColinAllredTX #DemsUnited #Allied4Dems
