Drop the shameful, and offensive rape clause that will cause distress to victims

Petition Details

The UK Government's rape clause is as bad as it sounds. Under this disgusting, and insensitive policy women who have a third child must prove that the child was conceived as a result of rape to satisfy the UK Government in allowing extra support for their third child. This is simply unacceptable.
