I'm hearing too much parsing of words by pundits. Rape is rape and there are no different

[Lint Head]

categories of rape. Please! Tell it like it is. Ryan thinks there are different types of rape. Rape is Rape. If you vote for the GOP you vote FOR rape.

1. I wonder how much Akin or Ryan would like to get raped?

3. Ever hear of rape-rape?

4. There are indeed some differences

How about when a eighteen year old boy has sex with a very willing fifteen year old girl. He is a Senior in High School and she is a Sophmore...Should the boy go to jail for twenty years?

5. Are you saying there are categories of rape? By some laws 15 is not consensual.

18 year olds died in Vietnam yet cannot drink alcohol. There are exceptions to every rule and that is why we have courts and juries to decide. Your question is one of how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.

6. In the state I live there is a category called Statutory Rape

It is different than Rape and is prosecuted differently. Sixteen is the Legal age of consent in my state but if the girl is fifteen years and three hundred days old her seventeen year old boy friend could have serious trouble if it were to be found out they had sex no matter how much they both agreed to it.. I do not consider this to be in any way the same as a violent attack upon a women where sex was involved...

7. That's why Juliet exceptions are becoming more accepted

because lots of other people don't see the sense in that either.

8. I can understand that. There has to be a cut off point in the age. 13 use to be standard many

decades ago. Also when a women on the farm got pregnant she was some times back working in the fields the day after she gave birth. I think the GOP is living in the dark ages.
