Is a convicted child molester prohibited from being in the presence of a pregnant woman?

Question

Once a child molester is out of prison, he must stay a certain distance from children. A pregnant woman is carrying a CHILD, so is he in violation if he goes near her?

Answer 1

If not, he/she should be. Take it a step further...just prohibit them from being...period.

Answer 2

You can get an answer by calling your local sheriff's department.

Personally, I think, you are stretching the situation a bit too far as child molester has no possible ways to cause any harm to a child that is not born yet.

If he threatens the woman or the woman feels threatened because of his actions, that is a different story altogether.

I suggest you call your local police department's NON-EMERGENCY number and find out for sure.

Answer 3

Answer - no distance from a pregnant woman is required.

Reason: In Roe v Wade, the Supreme Court ruled that life begins upon birth. As such, the fetus is not considered alive until birth has happened. Since the woman is pregnant, birth has not yet happened. Thus no birth = no child, and no child = no minimum distance.

Answer 4

I don't know.But I think I personally would not want him around me if I were pregnant anyway! That is a good question though. I'd check out a police website in your state,or a site about child molesters.

Answer 5

I’m sure you’re aware that your arguments about the choices that men do have echo with an uncanny precision the arguments made by abortion rights opponents — that women have the choice not to get pregnant.
Yes, but the comparison is misleading; it implies that the disparity is caused by hypocrisy in the feminist position, when the disparity is actually caused by differences in male and female anatomy. (No pro-choicer would deny men the right to abortion, if men were physically capable of pregnancy.)

When pro-lifers say women’s chance to decide about parenthood is before pregnancy happens, what they really mean is, “I want to deny you one of your medically viable options.” There’s no reason, except for pro-life laws, that women can’t get an abortion after pregnancy begins.

In contrast, when I say men’s chance to decide about parenthood is before pregnancy happens, that’s a statement of biological fact. It’s not an argument in favor of denying men viable medical options; it’s an observation that men physically lack those options.

Although the statements look similar on the surface, the substantive difference between the two positions is enormous, and can’t fairly be overlooked.

Answer 6

A child molester does not want a pregnant woman - furtherest thing from their minds,

A child molester wants a child not a fetus.

Answer 7

I would think that would not be a violation since the child isn't born yet. I wouldn't suggest a pedophile try to test that though.

Answer 8

I really doubt it. It would be hard to molest a child while still in the womb. To be honest though, I would guess the law, if there is one, varies from state to state.

If I were in charge I would casterate child molestors. That is the only way to assure those sick bastards would not repeat their crime. Is that considered "cruel and unusual"??

Answer 9

Dude, get serious, how is some molester going to mess with the kid, while it's still inside the mother?

Answer 10

If the woman is carrying the child INSIDE her womb no, especially if it's his own kid.

Answer 11

That's like asking, "Can a pregnant woman use the HOV lane?"
