From the VOMITORIUM

My friend Terrant over at “My Corner To Vent” (blogroll will get you his site….go and enjoy) had a post on the HR3 bill in the House about the Fed funding of abortion….that the GOP is trying to redefine the meaning of the word rape….the wording is a bit obfuscated…….

‘The limitations established in sections 301, 302, 303, and 304 shall not apply to an abortion—
‘(1) if the pregnancy occurred because the pregnant female was the subject of an act of forcible rape or, if a minor, an act of incest;‘(2) in the case where the pregnant female suffers from a physical disorder, physical injury, or physical illness that would, as certified by a physician, place the pregnant female in danger of death unless an abortion is performed, including a life-endangering physical condition caused by or arising from the pregnancy itself.

But there is more…..this is from an actual case of rape…..as reported by Tracey Moore of Nashville Scene…..

But wait! How do you prove you’ve been forcibly raped? With your untested rape kit? A doctor’s note? A testimony before John Boehner? A walk of shame? Or a conviction in a court of law, which must obviously take place in time for you to terminate the pregnancy?

Worth contemplating:

One illustrative example: There was a rape case where a woman was physically thrown onto a mattress by her assailant, and in order to “prove” that physically forcing someone onto a mattress was not force, the defendant had to somehow argue that she wasn’t thrown hard enough. The question was raised of whether she bounced, when she hit the mattress. And in this case, the fact that the woman said “no” had already been admitted by the accused. The “no” wasn’t enough, and the fact that she was thrown onto the mattress wasn’t enough: She had to bounce off the mattress, for this to constitute either “rape” or “force.” The “did she bounce” standard — that is, essentially, what we’re requiring when we require “force” in order to define rape. That particular rapist walked free. He was initially convicted, but the case was overturned by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. On the basis of “did she bounce.” And this happened in 1994.

Where will they draw the line?  And why is the control of a women’s vagina an important issue?  And why are babies important to the GOP until they are born…..then they are those people seeking free rides…..when is the GOP going to get serious about the running of the country?  So many questions and not one Repub with an answer…….your vote was well placed you idiots!

All this attention to abortion and the Health care reform act……..and NOTHING about jobs and the economy……and they say Obama does not have a clue…..looks like the pot calling the kettle black (no offense intended)……
