re: #703 Buck

Correct.. the republican party is not the same as house republicans, and the definition of rape was already in the FBI using the same term. No redefinition, and no republican party.

So, the members of the federal legislative body of the United States aren’t representatives of the party as a whole - not to mention that this legislation was endorsed by Speaker John Boehner (who said passage was a “top priority”)?
Also, it isn’t only the Republicans in the US House of Representatives who are attempting to engage in this redefinition. Off the top of my head, the states of Georgia, Idaho, Texas, Arkansas, South Dakota, and Kansas have similar statutes proposed. This is a wholesale attempt by the party itself to redefine rape.
