The fact is the left has a disconcerting double standard on the issue of rape, similar to their double standard on race. Basically y'all are really conflicted.

WTF are you talking about?

If your answer is yes, you agree with the 30 Republican Senators which voted to allow this practice to continue. I your answer is no, you disagree with the majority of Republican Senators.
That sounds logical to me .

I want each and every person who voted against this to suffer the same fate as the woman.

Those 30 Republicans who voted against the amendment should be publicly called out about this, especially when they are up for reelection!

Review this thread about the GOP acting in ways that are not supportive of women (at best) and acting in sexist ways (at worst)!

All he is saying, is that Corporations are above the law, because they write it, as well as their employee contracts.

I suppose you think it's their fault?
You watch this video and then give a good reason why these allegations should not be investigated and, if necessary, prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

The absurdity of the opposition to the amendment strains all credulity.

The 30 Republican Senators, who voted against the amendment, are no different than this!

One of the problems we have in this country is leftest nutjobs that want to give the criminal a pass, but they turn around and want to sue someone or a company who is not at fault. Talk about the looney far left being stupid is being nice to them.
