If youre looking for evidence that the differences between men and women are greatly exaggerated, the fact that women are equally capable as men of mind-blowing misogyny should erase all doubt. New Mexico state Rep. Cathrynn Brown proved that this week by introducing a bill aimed at throwing rape victims in jail if they refuse to honor their rapists right to control their body by carrying his child. This sort of insult to rapists will not stand, so Brown, standing up bravely for rapists who want the suffering theyve inflicted to carry on and on for their victims, has proposed banning abortion for rape victims on the phony grounds that its tampering with evidence.

So, she believes rape pregnancies need to be preserved so it can be used as evidence at the rape trial? Abortion as tampering with evidence? How immeasurably fucked up is that? Jaysus Christ.

That house can never be cleaned and sold because it would disturb the evidence.

(30,252 posts)If a woman conceives as a result of rape, the child is evidence. If she convinces her rapist to at least put on a condom, that's regarded as consent. And if she fights back and injures or kills the rapist, she's a danger to society.
Lovely scheme they've worked up over the years! Let me know how it turns out, please!
