1. They're going to eliminate them, doncha know. Probably by saying that any utterance

by the woman at all constitutes consent. Like no, stop, I'm going to be sick, etc.

4. +1

2. Per capita, it's #17 or so. Alaska is #1, by quite a margin. Texas has more people so higher total.

3. Texas has about as many as California, but with far fewer people...

There's also a question about how the different states define and report "rape".

5. Probably because it's not r-e-a-l-l-y illegal there.

Not r-e-a-l-l-y. Just some good ole boys. Never meanin' no harm.

6. Abbott says they

Will eliminate rape in Texas. They can't even be bothered to test rape kits collected from victims brave enough to report the rape.

7. What is non-forcible tape? (nt)

8. isn't the term "forcible rape" redundant? editing to add...

what rape is not forcible?

from the notes on that webpage:

Attempts or assaults to commit rape are also included in the statistics presented here; however, statutory rape and incest are excluded.

WHY IS INCEST EXCLUDED?????

9. Per capita it isn't the worst but it is fairly close among sizable states

Texas is 15th over all and third worst among states with more than 4 CD. Michigan and Colorado are worse. The other 12 states with worse rates are small states where a few rapes can make a decent difference in the rate meaning they may well not be as bad as Texas in most years. In short, TX has nothing to brag about in this regard.
