Is Akin giving license for ill mannered men to have non-consensual sex with women

...so long as the woman doesn't get pregnant?

potential rapists need only wear a condom, pull out, or hope the victim is taking birth control? Excellent!!!

Is Akin giving license for ill mannered men to have non-consensual sex with women (Original Post) Sheepshank Aug 2012 OP
They already do that. Jamastiene Aug 2012 #1
The GOP might as well put "a license to rape" on their platform meow2u3 Aug 2012 #2
That really needs to be highlighted. LiberalFighter Aug 2012 #7

I think it is just license for all you said, but with no exception. salin Aug 2012 #8
It certainly seems that way with today's Rapepublican Party Tom Ripley Aug 2012 #10

There is another politician that said something about a woman's "juices" not flowing. That one said that women didn't get pregnant from rape too. I can't remember who it was right off the top of my head, but I do remember it was another Republican asshole.

On Edit: Here is an article about the other Republican that said that. http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Lawmaker-Says-Rape-Can-t-Cause-Pregnancy-3036411.php

You wouldn't believe how many people think like Akin, as referenced above. There are already rapists who never go to jail because they get everyone believing their side of things. If the woman doesn't get pregnant from it, the rapist gets by with it, routinely.

Because that's what it boils down to. They don't give a rat's ass about a woman's right to be safe.

Not only do rethug men think they have a license to rape, but also to punish the woman as if it were all her fault instead of all his.

Another Rep says that have sex with a sleeping woman is not rape, it's ill mannered.

Just like that...legit or not legit...the males are given a pass. NOT one word about the freaks doing the raping.

It's ALL the women's fault.

See, if the woman get's pregnant it proves that it wasn't rape. If there is no pregnancy, then if the woman claims rape she is lying.

Presto Chango - no such thing as a "legitimate" claim of rape.
