Ann of Feministing:
I can't believe we missed this. Last week, after a debate over legislation that would amend the state constitution to say that it does not guarantee the right to abortion or require funding for abortion, Tennessee state Sen. Doug Henry (at right), said,Apparently women being in charge of their bodies has made rape so much harder to define or something. Damn those hippies! At this very moment, Sen. Henry is receiving an education from women across the US. (Read the comments to Ann's post.)“Rape, ladies and gentlemen, is not today what rape was. Rape, when I was learning these things, was the violation of a chaste woman, against her will, by some party not her spouse. Today it’s simply, ‘Let’s don’t go forward with this act.’ ”In the modern era, now that all women are dirty whores, rape is really no big deal. After all, women can just say no!
Perhaps we should write Sen. Henry an email or two and let him know what has and hasn't changed about sexual assault in this country?
Happy Valentine's Day to you, sir!

I sent this diabolical dinasaur a quick email:
It is beyond reprehensible to consider an act of violence and ultimate personal invasion anything except a highly punishable crime.
Your view on the issue makes me wonder, sir, how you've managed to exist in a western country all these and have fooled your constituents to such a degree that you were voted into public office.
An official apology to all America is in order.
Truly Outraged,
