Clinic Photos Incriminate Child Rapist - Rapists Will Now Resort to "Plan B"

Posted by Ruben at ContraceptionBlog.com

Here at No Room for Contraception we've maintained that emergency contraception will allow child rapists to cover up their crimes. Though this man used an abortion clinic to cover up his crime, in the future people like him will use Plan B emergency contraception instead.

A 41 year old man accused of rape by an underage teen has been arrested after photos placed his car at an abortion clinic.

Members of a Christian ministry which has been photographing clinic workers, physicians, and clients for 14 years provided the evidence of a cover-up of the rape to a police detective.

Angela Long, a member of this ministry, said the following in a WorldNetDaily article:

"I remembered how upset she was, and pleading with him (the suspect) not to make her go in," she said. "The detective asked, 'Do you have the car?' 'Yes.' 'Do you have the plate?' 'Yes.' And I read it to him."

"And in the background I heard the clicking of the handcuffs," Angela Michael said, along with the comment "We've got him." The suspect now is being held on $75,000 bond on counts being developed in two counties, authorities said.

This man used a forced abortion to cover up his crime and got caught. Unfortunately for many young girls, over the counter access to Plan B emergency contraception will provide child rapists with "get out of jail" tickets.

1. Oh, fer cryin out loud, haven't these fucking morons ever heard
of a RAPE KIT? DNA comes not only from semen but from hairs left behind. There is no reason to force pregnancy on an already traumatized girl or woman, or on any other woman.

These men are just plain cruel. There is no other way to describe them.

2. In their minds...

...the world is theirs and everything/everyone in it. They have this arrogant sense of entitlement that they can take what or whoever they want. Think about it. It explains a lot. Rapist, wife-beaters, the men who run the gov't (esp right now). Lots of guys like that out there.

However, using them(selves) as a lame excuse to keep abortion and the morning-after pill from their victims is - well, they protect each other that way, don't they?

3. Let me see if I understand this.Rapists keep their victims around long enough
to find out if they are pregnant and if they are they make them get abortions, thus "covering up their crime"? And now the fear is that someone will rape, then make the victim take high dose estrogen/progesterone to prevent pregnancy and this will cover up all evidence of the rape?

Are these people really that stupid to think that pregnancy is the only evidence of a crime and that pregnancy is the only outcome of rape?

4. I'm calling bullshit...
They have their nose stuck into people's business for 14 years and when a girl is evidently forced in to get an abortion she doesn't want by an older man they say, "OK, if you don't want to talk, we tried." And they leave it at that and take pictures?

And how did she hear the "clicking of the handcuffs"? On the phone? Was she there with Bryant, Ark., Det. Jimmy Long? Why? And note: "Angela Long, a member of this ministry..."

Maybe a wrong guess, but anyone near there willing to call and ask for Det. Jimmy Long?

They might say, who?

There are a couple of legit news sources carrying this story, but it sounds fishy.

Some reports say the guy repeatedly took girls there. Google this. It's amazing how different the stories are, and only rightwing rags carry it, except for the few mentioned. Just curious what a call would find.

5. I think you will find that the IDEA is that incestual rape is covered up
somehow I don't think it will be any more than it is.

6. They are grasping at any and every straw to justify the misogyny.
Edited on Sat Nov-25-06 06:13 AM by BlueIris
I can't believe they're using this non-sensical "argument," but...then again, I guess we shouldn't put anything past the uber-misogynists at this point.
