Doreen
(11,686 posts)1. This has been going on for a very long time.
I have a fear that with trump in it is going to get a lot worse.

(11,686 posts)3. I would not surprised at all if it became legal to abuse and rape
females of any age.

After all, Paul Ryan said that rape was just another "method of conception".
Doreen
(11,686 posts)5. Yeah right. Is he trying to say a 4 year old little girl being raped
is part of conception? What? is the sperm going to sit around until he first ovulation and impregnate her? He is a very very sick man.
musette_sf
(10,208 posts)6. What he is saying
is that pregnancy, childbirth and parenthood that is the woman's choice of where, when, why, how, and with whom she wishes, is TOTALLY the same as unwanted pregnancy via violent sexual assault. And that freely choosing pregnancy and birth, is TOTALLY the same as gestational slavery with a rapist's tainted DNA implanted by violent force.
Doreen
(11,686 posts)7. Yeah, I get that but how does he explain raping a 4 year old girl?
