(36,527 posts)1. How can anyone but pedophiles & traffickers be in favor of this?
How can women who wear tee-shirts that read "Believe the children" be okay with this?

an anti-trafficking champion yet support this depraved monster and his policies?

..............or just plain old, "Rape-publicans"?
I have a feeling we can drive RW nut-jobs crazy by saddling them with the label "Rape-publicans." So I would suggest getting that little nickname out there trying to make it stick.
