Colorado Democrats to Rape Victims: Lie Back and Enjoy It
American Thinker ^ | 3/28/13 | William A Levinson

Posted on 03/28/2013 9:34:17 AM PDT by Winged Hussar

The Democratic Party likes to tout its support for the right of a woman to control her body after she becomes pregnant, and this is a position with which I agree prior to substantial fetal development. It is clear, however, that Colorado's Democrats do not recognize a woman's right to decide whether she wants to become pregnant in the first place, or even have sexual intercourse. Their position, and they have made it clear through both their legislation and their public statements, is that they expect rape victims to comply passively with their attackers. Let's start with State Representative Joe Salazar (D-CO), who said women lack the basic mental capacity to handle firearms responsibly.

"There are some gender inequities on college campuses, this is true, and universities have been faced with that situation for a long time. It's why we have call boxes, it's why we have safe zones, it's why we have the whistles. Because you just don't know who you're going to be shooting at. And you don't know if you feel like you're going to be raped, or if you feel like someone's been following you around or if you feel like you're in trouble when you may actually not be, that you pop out that gun and you pop, pop a round at somebody."

Don’t know about the lying back part

Eagerly grabbing his ankles, methinks.

Bloomberg’s credibility will be dealt with in short order. He just spent $12 million on an ad in which a “gun owner” says he supports the 2nd Amendment and universal background checks. The problem is, the “gun owner” is pointing his shotgun in an unsafe direction with the action closed, thus proving that his father never taught him to hunt (as he claims) and that he is almost certainly not familiar with firearms.

Which makes him a paid shill, and Bloomberg a proven liar. That’s $12 million of Bloomberg’s money down the sewer, and even worse when the public relations backlash hits.

Wasn’t there some other politicians that said something similar about rape?

There were ad they had an (R) by their name, these clowns have the (D) by their name and are therefore exempt from persecution.

Seems like there’s always some politician that says something stupid about rape every couple years.
