John needs to read “Lucky” Alice Sebold’s memoir of her rape when she was a young student. It is the most horrendous stories I have ever read, really outlining the brutality of what rape is and what it does to a woman. John Boehner should not be in the business of writing bills that have anything to do with females. What does he know and how can he know? why have so many legislators signed on???

Thanks for putting this important issue right in that Monster’s face!
It is completely unconscionable for this legislation to be introduced in the first place.
Down with Boehner, he needs to resign and they go home and cry to his mommie!

Shame on Boehner. He has no feeling for a poor 13 year-old-girl, who has no way of protecting herself. For the sake of our country’s poor, he SHOULD GIVE UP HIS JOB! We’d be better off without him!

This is an outrage. What has to happen for these men to understand what rape truly is. Do they have to know and love a rape victim for them to finally understand? Their wife, their child? God forbid.

Well. According to this, neither one of my rapes was rape.

This issue is something that is extremely important to our ongoing struggle for women’s rights. At EMILY’s List, we know that over the past 26 years, our members have fought for the freedoms my generation enjoys today by helping to elect pro-choice Democratic women. We’re asking the GOP: what are your priorities? You spoke of an economic mandate, but your actions show a dedication to rolling back the rights of women.

Join EMILY’s List in sending this message to Speaker Boehner: we will not stand for these attacks on women’s rights.
