The law has been changing. It used to be said that a woman was not raped unless she resisted "to the uttermost." Today courts lean towards accepting verbal rather than physical resistance as sufficient - i.e., saying "no." <br /><br />The idea that some rape is not forcible is an absurd result of an almost all-male Republican groupthink. It is inherently a violent act to use another person's body agaisnt their will even if it is done without other physical expressions of force. But I'm not surprised to see Republicans want to excuse date rape. Boys will be boys, right? And besides which, she asked for it by dressing sexy. Yes, it's crazy that these misogynists are one election away from running the country (again).The Law Talking Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17886791396468512490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6762928.post-5982160876996557282011-01-30T08:25:22.717-08:002011-01-30T08:25:22.717-08:00Under criminal law, correct me if I am wrong, not ...Under criminal law, correct me if I am wrong, not all rape is defined as forced. And woman must always show the court some for of resistance. So if you see rape is inevitable, you had better work on getting the shit beat out of you, or they may claim you "cooperated". And how does this square with the libertarian Tea partiers?<br /><br />Did you all hear about the Dutch study of 85K women? Pro-lifers say that women who have abortions have long term mental and emotional issues. They study showed the opposite. Women who have abortions seek counseling before hand. But are fine after. Women who have the babies suffer higher rates of depression, are often unbalanced due to the rigors of motherhood that they weren't prepared for. This doesn't surprise me. The only person who knows if she is prepared for a child is the woman.USwestnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6762928.post-89238356583385889332011-01-28T13:25:51.353-08:002011-01-28T13:25:51.353-08:00What's more, by their logic, if she doesn'...What's more, by their logic, if she doesn't get the crap beat out of her in the process she must have consented and so was not raped.

Of course you can't. The purpose of the ban is to punish women who chose to have sex and got pregnant; if it's 'not her fault' she can have an abortion. Nothing but sexist garbage.The Law Talking Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17886791396468512490noreply@blogger.com
