The "It’s Not Rape if You’re Not Bruised and Bleeding" Bill

[The Great Ghast]

Oh god, this is terrible.

Fixed.

[QUOTE=Zeke129;27839072]Hopefully Americans remember this when it comes time to vote in the next congress. And while I hate shady political attack ads, I hope the democrats milk this for all it's worth. Every republican who votes in favour of this bill needs to have that information smeared everywhere.[/QUOTE]

Every Republican who votes in favor of this bill should themselves be smeared everywhere.

You cannot generalize America as a whole.

This was on Jon Stewart's show. I thought they were legitimately joking but god damn

EDIT: And then I realized what angle they are coming at. Without physical proof of rape, a woman can frame any guy she has sex with and have a good chance at winning the case.

[QUOTE=Sigma-Lambda;27834672]but it still makes no provisions for women who were date raped[/QUOTE]
Date rape could be considered statutory or forcible, depending on the means.

[QUOTE=GoldenGnome;27838775]This bill itself changes the definition of forcible rape, sir.[/QUOTE]
Nope, still uses the same term as in the UCR crime index.

[QUOTE=I Broke The Sun!;27840460]Well, that's not what this bill is about. Statutory rape, date-rape, and drugging women is still illegal. They just can't get cost exemption for abortions in the event they get pregnant.[/QUOTE]

So it's like, "We'll look for the criminal who raped you but I'm afraid you don't qualify for an abortion because you were raped too softly. Go fall down the stairs or something. If that doesn't solve the baby problem then at least you'll be bruised enough to get the abortion."

Even if this is a "well the alternative to abortion is this..." campaign, don't these people think this through before trying to pass it? I swear that these people try to distract us from the important, topical issues with their stupidity.

I think a baby inside a minor is enough proof for statutory rape, so why don't victims of it get free abortions?

I think it's more that America's idiots are much much louder.

Well, lately the GOP hasn't been known for getting much useful done.

what angle is that? this hasn't made any type of rape more legal or something it's just made it so that woman or girls raped in certain ways can't have free abortions

[Bat-shit]

maybe make it a rape if victim had said no

The fact that people think this way is why only like 15% of rapes are actually reported

[QUOTE=Zeke129;27843151]The fact that people think this way is why only like 15% of rapes are actually reported[/QUOTE]

how many times has that even happened anyway? a lot of people(men) seem to think this is some sort of common occurrence.

[R3allybored]

I'm pretty sure if you're bruised and bleeding after a rape then other assault charges follow.

So much effort put into that gif, only for it to spell "dammit" wrong.

[Habsburg]

I spell it Damnit.

GunFox, you do realize that dammit/damnit comes from "Damn it", which is merely shortened by removing the space.

"dammit" is the slang term.

I think the United States needs an overhaul. I call revolution.

This is what we got guns for men (In case it gets violent, and revolutions usually do).

:ssh:

[Wootman]

I doubt it would pass

[Lord_Ragnarok]

What is this, Saudi(soddy) fucking Arabia? God damn it, I am so fucking sick of people around the world holding women accountable for being raped, unless if it's the forceful, Last House on the Left type of rape.

Sorry, I know it's not good to mix emotions with making educated opinions, but that's pretty god damn horrible.

A drugged out 13-year-old has a pretty god damn hard time doing that. Especially if they're drugged.

Dammit is the proper spelling. It is the one which appears in the dictionary. "Damnit" either won't appear, or appears as a common misspelling of "dammit".
