To Whom it may concern,
I am a 33 year old female with mental instability, and severe body issues. Why do I have issues with my body? When I was 14 years old, I was raped at knifepoint, and I was left alone in a dark abandoned building afterwards. I was covered in bruises, had a busted lip, had…

Dear Chris Smith
I hear you are the one who proposed this bill that would redefine rape in order to restrict abortions in the cases of incest or rape.
Are you a rape victim, sir? Are you aware that rape is the most under reported crime in all of the US and Canada? Do you know why that is sir? It’s because the victims don’t think anything will get done. And do you know why they...

Funny!
Funny because abortion is a legal medical procedure, and yet John Boehner cannot stop bringing it up! For a vote!
Because I’m sure John Boehner thinks that health insurance should cover him, even though he smokes! And I agree! It should! Smoking is...

Can I just point out that if it weren’t for the arts, she wouldn’t have a stylist, a hair dresser and a makeup artist to make her pwetty.
I can’t take anyone seriously, if they take Sarah Palin seriously.

Currently debating in the John Boehner facebook group. I keep posting the links to how the GOP wants to redefine rape and it gets ignored. Then, I mentioned it, without the link, and someone’s like, “do you have a link for this?”

“Rape is only really rape if it involves force. So says the new House Republican...”
– And, yes, this is going on.
Let’s outline, one more time, the reasons why requiring “force” as a part of legally defined rape is a bad idea, hey? Because there are many. And let’s skip right past the part where many rapes would no longer be defined as such (I’m… really not sure how you redefine...
