It would be a very cruel world if that were the case. Thank goodness most Americans have more compassion than that.

In other news, starting next week men having sex with other men is not considered gay as long as one of the men are in the closet and married.

So, Candidate A runs for president. The result is that Candidate A wins. Govt funds shouldn't be used to pay Candidate A's salary?

A guy in the next county, while intoxicated, stumbled into a neighbor's barn and had non-consentual sex with a sheep a few years back. I wonder if that would be considered forcible rape or non-forcible rape? The sheep had no comment.

Who is they?

In the US, rape in marriage was still legal before the 1970's and even into the 90's in some states in the US. It's now illegal in all 50 states.

That's a redefinition of marriage. Is that what you are talking about?

This would rule out federal assistance for abortions in many rape cases, including instances of statutory rape."

I don't understand how any women could possibly vote Republican.
The proposal does not stop abortions for rape. it just stops tax payer support for abortions.

Most rape cases are never reported.

What some here are missing is that Abortion is Not Illegal and is considered a medical procedure, so hence there is viable reason that someone should be denied funds that they would recieve for any other procedure. Especially just because a segment of society does not want their tax payer dollars to go there. If we made such a ludicrous ruling then what about those that don't want their money to go to Wars or SS or you name it, sorry a government cannot be run that way.
