Just to clarify the rape position....

Remember HR 3,which prohibits taxpayer funded abortions and provides for conscience protections, and other purposes?

Remember that one, the one that redefines rape, that one?

All of Missouir's GOP delegation in Congress voted in support of that resolution.

Not only that, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM WAS AN ORIGINAL CO-SPONSOR.

Every. Single. One.

Todd Akin co-sponsored and voted 'yea'

JoAnne Emerson co-sponsored and was conveniently out of chambers when the vote was taken- she was marked 'absent' (how convenient) But she was a co-sponsor so that gives us some indication on how she would have voted.

Sam Graves co-sponsored and voted 'yea'

Vickie Hartzler co-sponsored and voted 'yea'

Billy Long co-sponsored and voted 'yea'

Blaine Luetkemeyer co-sponsored and voted 'yea'.

Why this is important--- because all these congressman and woman believe that if your 13 year old daughter was raped by her uncle and got pregnant, that the full force and effect of the government, by law, would force your daughter to carry to term the rapist's child.

Not only that, but that rapist would be entitled the same parental rights afforded to non-custodial parents.

The implication is that if the rape is not (and I hate talking like this), if the rape is not forcible, then it ain't a rape.

Just saying, after you've voted for or co-sponsored HR3 that a 'rape is a rape' don't cut it. You voted for the god dam thing!
