re: #90 Obdicut


This entire long rigamarole is because you are trying to insist that these Republicans weren’t opposed to abortions for rape victims— while right now, there are GOP members openly saying that they’re opposed to abortions for rape victims. So why on earth, why the fuck, why the hell are you torturing yourself and language like this? Why have you let yourself get to this state?

That is false. Actually another bald faced lie. I have said over and over that this is about the word forced. It is about characterizing the addition of that word as an attempt to redefine rape.

I have been perfectly clear that for the purpose of the budget bill, the word did not make any difference. You are lying if you do not admit that I have said this to you multiple times. Rape is ALWAYS forced by definition.

Forced rape == rape

You have failed to give me your definition of Rape. I will go first.

Noun:
1. the unlawful compelling of a woman through physical force or threats, violence, constraints, or other action brought to bear on someone to to have sexual intercourse.

2. any act of sexual intercourse that is forced upon a person.

Verb:
to force to have sexual intercourse.
