They had detained her and interrogated her for hours until she did this. Now she's being charged with all sorts of stuff because she "falsely" reported a crime. She's had this terrible thing happen to her and as far as the government is concerned she made it up to get some guy in trouble. Meanwhile he walks free. Rape is rape, there's no distinctions that these idiots are putting on it. <br /><br />I do however find it funny that Kate mentioned this same thing on the way home from work yesterday, saying pretty much what you have said here. Not that I needed proof of why you two get along, but if I did that would be some.

Their purpose being, of course, to imply that women are just a bunch of sluts who will happily lie about being raped so they can get abortions. I just can't understand anymore how a woman could vote Republican. The whole thing fills me with despair.Anthonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05490102537399222213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682036990627515116.post-55722489852122885722012-08-22T10:18:26.581-04:002012-08-22T10:18:26.581-04:00Wow! some people believe some silly things!

That seems like a dangerous thing to be teaching children! <br />As for rape being over reported! Thats just silly! I've heard its one of the most UNDER reported crimes!<br />I hope people grow up and realize how real and bad rape is!<br />And I kind of hope Todd Akin gets raped, so that people can then ask him if it was a legitimate rape or an illegitimate rape!!<br />Berserculeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00980762819283689198noreply@blogger.com
