58. And THAT is how we need to be wording it, too.

THAT is the message, the reality, the FACT of this.

This IS State-Sponsored Rape. Forcible entry into a woman's vagina without her consent is RAPE. Pure 'n' simple. That's WHAT THIS IS.

We're gonna have to amp this UP. CALL IT WHAT IT IS. FORCE America to look at it and see it for what it REALLY IS.

The bad guys have embroidered this as somehow "saving babies." Well, the FACTS are - there are NO babies HERE. There. Is. No. "Baby". Ultrasounds mandated at this early stage in a pregnancy will show this. That there is no "baby," per se. There is a mass of differentiating cells. There's an embryo. And frankly, at such an early stage, the uninitiated (who are usually the ones who are on this most ferociously) might not even be able to tell if this was a human embryo - or a cow embryo or a cat embryo or I daresay even an iguana embryo at this stage, if the image were isolated and presented without context. With a tail, even, at this early stage!

This is STATE-SPONSORED RAPE. STATE-SANCTIONED RAPE. Worse - STATE-MANDATED RAPE. Forcible entry into a woman's vagina without her consent is RAPE.

Forcible entry into a woman's vagina without her consent is RAPE.

Forcible entry into a woman's vagina without her consent is RAPE.

Forcible entry into a woman's vagina without her consent is RAPE.

Groovy. So what are you doing to ensure women are not raped. By the state… Luminous Animal Jun 2015 #64
What do you want me to do? Cheese Sandwich Jun 2015 #67
They're too busy in the other thread scolding those who wished the treatment on Walker. kcr Jun 2015 #2
Exactly. Luminous Animal Jun 2015 #4
'the treatment'. That's a euphemism for rape I haven't heard before n/t Violet_Crumble Jun 2015 #16
Wow. So we have to totally ignore they're legislating it? kcr Jun 2015 #17
What? I've got no idea what yr talking about now... Violet_Crumble Jun 2015 #18
Yes, the treatment of shoving the very probe up his ass that he wants forced up others. kcr Jun 2015 #20
Well, let's call it what it is, and that's rape... Violet_Crumble Jun 2015 #22
What does being a woman have to do with it and why are you curious about it? kcr Jun 2015 #24
It's a simple question. A woman co-sponsored the bill. Would you defend calls to rape her? Violet_Crumble Jun 2015 #25
Maybe you missed my edit n/t kcr Jun 2015 #26
You didn't answer the question I asked you... Violet_Crumble Jun 2015 #34
I know where kcr stands against state sanctioned rape. Where do you stand? Luminous Animal Jun 2015 #65

Fair enough. F4lconF16 Jun 2015 #44
Why are no men on DU posting against it? Where are the men's advocacy groups against it? Luminous Animal Jun 2015 #11
I'm a woman and i haven't posted anything about that. In no way does that mean I condone it... Violet_Crumble Jun 2015 #14
Very good question and points made. Behind the Aegis Jun 2015 #39
Thanks, BtA. You gave a great example of how that 'logic' doesn't work... Violet_Crumble Jun 2015 #41

I think maybe the point of the OP is why are people defending Scott Walker when Cheese Sandwich Jun 2015 #13
Uh, no-one's defending him n/t Violet_Crumble Jun 2015 #15
I don't know what else to call the outrage kcr Jun 2015 #19
I think that baseball bat post and the OP itself were disgusting. That's not defending him at all... Violet_Crumble Jun 2015 #21
I've heard about some baseball bat post. I didn't see it. kcr Jun 2015 #23
The link's there in the other thread you were posting in. Maybe you should look at it... Violet_Crumble Jun 2015 #28
I dont' know if it's my DU, but people kept sending me a link and it wasn't to a baseball bat post kcr Jun 2015 #29
I'm pretty sure no-one thinks it's yr DU. Violet_Crumble Jun 2015 #37
I hate disingenous posts nadinbrzezinski Jun 2015 #47
There is a big step between anger and making a comment F4lconF16 Jun 2015 #35
