I'm against rape. House Republican's are against "rape rape"

I don't often use my blog to weigh in on political issues, but I'm going to do that with this post. I guess I'm just going to come out and say it, I'm against rape. There I said it. It may not be the most popular position, but that's just how I feel. People ask me why I feel that way as a male, what my stance is on various form of rape (date, statutory, etc.), and it's been difficult for me to explain my beliefs to people.

Thankfully, House Republicans have put forth a bill that will redefine rape in a more clear, and easy to describe way. They want to halt abortion funding to women who receive federal funds. You may be thinking "haven’t there been rules barring this for about 30 years already?" Well, yes, but there have been loopholes for cases such as rape. House Republicans are now trying to stop that pesky loophole by redefining rape. Now the only type of rape that will be counted towards the exception is "forcible rape". Now I now have a way to explain to people the type of rapes I'm against; rape rape.


Now I know that any underage girl that was drugged and then taken advantage of isn't deserving of the term rape survivor. They should be forced to pay out of pocket for a legal abortion procedure, so that federal funds aren't spent on them. They don’t deserve the same level of care, and neither do the mentally handicapped that are raped (“non-forcibly” of course), or the victims of incest (that are over 18 years old), or just women who are unconscious.

So thanks House Republicans for helping me better clarify who is really a victim of rape, and who I can ignore. It just makes everything so much better to have clear definitions of who you don’t care about.
