As far too many women know, bruises and broken bones do not define rape - a lack of consent does...
From MoveOn.org:
Hi, I just heard about a horrible GOP bill that could redefine rape andset women's rights back by decades.Here's the deal: Right now, federal dollars can't be used for abortionexcept in cases of rape, incest, or when the woman's life is in danger.But the bill, introduced by Republican congressman Chris Smith, wouldnarrow that use to "cases of 'forcible' rape but not statutory or coerced rape."
As far too many women know, bruises and broken bones do not define rape -a lack of consent does. This bill is scary - so I signed a petitiontelling Congress to stand up and oppose the bill.
