Dear Republicans, Shame on you for making it harder for women to report rape
HuffPo ^ | 5/4/17 | Dani Bostick

Posted on 05/04/2017 4:58:25 PM PDT by NohSpinZone

By making rape-related medical treatment a preexisting condition, you have become an ally of rapists.

It is hard being the victim of a sex crime, and you just made it harder by voting for a healthcare bill that includes an amendment making the medical treatment of rape a preexisting condition. You’ve provided one more obstacle for women who want to bring their perpetrators to justice. This latest impediment to reporting is not only unfair, it will make our communities less safe.

That I cant speak to...but I can say that when you are in your Drs. Office you have to be careful what say...because some offhand comment about some minor thing can later be used against you with Insurance or in a lawsuit that involves medical issues

For pete's sake ... how far do you want to stretch credulity? No doubt the obamacare repeal will contribute to global warming, cause floods and famine, and cause otherwise attractive women to grow facial hair.

Only liberals would be stupid enough to believe this overblown hysteria.

Dear libtards. Thank you for making it easier for women who make poor sex decisions to ruin men’s lives with false rape accusations.

Article has ZERO discussion of preexisting. Says most rapists are white Christians. Says Trump blames all rapes on illegal Mexicans. The less likely to report statement is added to the end of a leftist rant with no explanation.

What convoluted fake news. The HuffPo will do whatever it takes to come up with a "Republicans Hate Women" headline.

Just because it is POSSIBLE that a woman will pay more for coverage if she has had rape-related medical expenses in the past, does not mean that she WILL pay more. In fact, if insurance companies are allowed to freely compete for her business, she will probably pay a lot less. If the government gets out of the way, insurance companies can do a good job of assessing risk and determining appropriate, competitive premiums. If is POSSIBLE that without government control, insurance companies will selectively and unfairly target rape victims, or Lithuanians, or bus drivers. Possible does not mean probable.

I guess the author of this piece never heard about the huge Obamacare premium price hikes. That news disappeared instantly down the leftist memory hole.

Also accuses us all of being friends with Denny Hastert and that has some connection. Guess she never heard of Bill Clinton, A Weiner, etc. Another hateful crazed nutjob.

One knows little about the works of Ms. Bostick.

That said, one suspects that she is an uber feminist; and, that she is (in full irrational and dishonest and deceitful irony) troubled neither by the treatment of women and girls in the minority communities nor by their treatment and status (think basic freedoms here) in the muslim community.

Just one's guesses, please feel free to enlighten.

Sorry Sweetcheeks, I couldn’t hear you what with Grandma screaming as I rolled her off the cliff.

All that is needed to prosecute the rapist is a rape kit. Are they saying the victim is sent a bill for rape kit?

Really? Does not pass the smell test.

Dear PuffHo,
Since you're all about empowering womyn at all costs, I assume you are enthusiastically supporting LePen in the French election?

PS Why does Obama hate women?

My understanding as a former prosecutor is that the rape examination and treatment is not billed to the victim and never has been.

If I’m not mistaken, when an underage person is brought to Planned Parenthood for an abortion, no questions are asked and no investigation is done. The author can spare us the BS.

To be honest, most women who are raped are working class and don’t HAVE health insurance.
