So, I mention this on the community last time. Would you like to express your opposition to this disgusting bill and let your politicans know about this (if you haven't already done so through action notices given by NARAL and PP)?
If so, go here to sign a petition to oppose this new bill that would redefine "rape" and set women's rights back
I already signed it and this is what I said:
You don't always need force to rape someone. In every single case of rape, there is one major common denominator: lack of consent. Anyone can be raped if they don't give their consent...especially if they are drugged, unconscious, coerced, or too young to understand the concept of what consent is.
How would supporters of this bill feel if they had a child (particularly a female) where an adult coerced them into having sex when they don't understand the idea of consent? Would they still think it's rape?
I got to say that this bill is disgusting, especially to survivors of sexual assault and women...all because these people care more about a non-sentient fetus that can't survive outside the womb until viability over a woman that has a life that can be shattered from such an attack and have it be trivalized. Please vote against this disgusting bill.
PS-Spread this petition around on to your family, friends, networking sites, and pro-choice communities on Live Journal. It's time to let these idiots know they have gone too far!
