Because if you don't, someone would have to commit at least one rape to be identified as a rapist. A rape that was reported, prosecuted and convicted. Which still leaves a lot of women dealing with the consequences of possible pregnancy from rape. Not to mention all the wealthy white men and their sons who will surely continue to evade any consequences because what they did will not be deemed "legitimate rape".

A GOP state lawmaker who recently gave an impassioned speech about being raped as a 16 year old says she feels attacked after a Republican colleague passed out literature describing rape as a “misdeed of the parent” that doesn’t justify having an abortion.

by writing laws that redefine what rape is.

To be honest, I wouldn't put anything past these assholes.

been waiting for? How's he planning to do this? I guess he'll recruit a psychic squad to get them before they rape. No, for real. Why isn't he laughed out of the room every time he says this stupid shit?
