The Vice President asked why Republicans would oppose this when he doesnt believe that they oppose testing rape kits, Why is there any opposition? I believe that Republicans want to solve rape cases as do Democrats, so why is there opposition?
"Its sad that the Republican Party has become so mired in their war on women in order to hook into the resentment of their straggling base of older white men that they have spent the last few years engaged in a policy war on women, including taking a year to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act, trying to label female victims accusers and granting more rights to rapists over any baby that is conceived in the commission of a crime. Wed certainly like to believe that Republicans want rape kits tested as much as Democrats do, but since they tried to defund the VAWA, that may be a hopelessly romantic view of the party as it used to be."
