This seems to show women should not be in the military.

I agree. And if they have to serve in the military, we should allow them serve in women's corps.

We need to advocate for traditional roles. Insist that both sexes are different. Females can still serve in the military but they will be segregated. Didn’t they serve as nurses during WWII?

MOST young women opt for the most no-hassle form of birth control available - either IUD, pills or implants, and if you’re an adult female in the service, that would seem even more desirable. Obviously there is no defense of rape, but I’d be surprised if there were many females in the service who are virgins/not sexually active...seems unlikely that a rape would result in pregnancy.

Why is our military coed? Someone please explain why it isn’t obviously a problem, and issues like rape aren’t predictable.

"Did these rapes get reported when they occurred, or only after the Roe v Wade draft was leaked?"

Exactly. If they are claiming rape they must identify the rapists so they can be prosecuted.

In this case it sounds like rape means 'I had unprotected sex and I got pregnant'.

+1000 Women should NOT be in the military! And I would never allow my daughter to join the military! Only an idiot would think this stuff isn’t going to happen, but it was more important to be “woke”.

As if they’re telling us, like we’re ignorant jerks, that reversing Roe v Wade means there’s NO PLACE left to get a safe abortion....

Is anyone else tired of this endlessly repeating narrative?

Excuse me, Ladies, but there will be plenty of places for you to have your safe and quick abortions, eg Illinois esp Chicago, CA, NY, RI (there they’ll even pay you), OR etc.

Hey, it's an open forum. But when you seemingly intentionally ignore the words of a poster, by your own admission, and go after the poster you may get called on it.

Now, if your little snowflake self can't handle open debate on a public forum perhaps you should put your apron on and go make someone a samich.

Now sit down.

Two of them say they wanted the baby, but did not want a child of sexual assault. Conflicted. One had the abortion and lost her fertility, the other said her mother shamed her into abortion.

Another one said a general raped her during basic training, if DM redacted correctly, which seems dubious. Generals and recruits?

Maybe women and men trained in aggression should be well separated. Maybe the military should train women on avoiding assault. Don’t get drunk, don’t leave your drink. And the military should handle assault accusations better. And women in their first two years and active deployment or up for it should have Norplants or IUDs or enforced celibacy.

a general raped her during basic training?? I never saw a general until well into my first assignment. I call BS.

OMG!

BULLSHIRT on this.

How often does this actually occur?

Then, how often does this RARE occurrence result in pregnancy?

If the court overturns abortion rights, the next step for far right wingers will be to BAN coat hangers. /s

Stock up NOW! /s

I don’t care if they trot out Stephen Siller to flack for them.

This is evil.

Why are these rapes only outrageous over abortion?
