Originally Posted By ecdc Yea this is lame, but in rare defense of my home state and even the LDS Church, Utah also passed immigration reform bills much more rooted in sanity and compassion, with the help of the church. It's been amusing to watch the cognitive dissonance of conservative Mormons unsure of what to do or think. But here's hoping the Utah Compact becomes the new face of immigration reform over Arizona's draconian law.

Originally Posted By Princessjenn5795 It isn't a joke Donny. There has been legislation, from Republicans, attempting to redefine rape.

You get to own all the baggage that word carries with it. Each of the three assertions I made in post 2 is backed up by actual current events - appalling actions that you either know nothing about or somehow manage to excuse within your own morality. But at least you know better than to try and defend any of these actions and legislations on the part of the GOP. It so much easier to just turn a blind eye, isn't it? Or in this case, outrage and indignation - illiterately stated, just like on all those tea party signs everybody makes fun of. You're one of THEM, donny - look around you.

Originally Posted By Mr X How ridiculous. Democrats, by and large, are for minimum wage requirements and fair working conditions, compared to Republicans. So, your assertion makes no sense.
Originally Posted By Donny The assertion makes perfect sence if you look at the post that says Republicans want to decriminalize rape,there is no where that republicans want to make rape a lesser charge. So what I am saying is gadzuux assertion makes no sense.
Originally Posted By mawnck >>I think it is a overwhelmingly stupid thing to say that republicans want to decriminalize rape.<< Was going to argue, but he's right. They haven't made any moves to decriminalize rape, just to defund abortions for the victims. The problem, Donny, is the way they're going about it ... declaring some rapes to be rape, and others (including statutory and date rape) to be less rape. It's scummy and kind of weird. Rape a woman by force, and she can get a funded abortion. Rape her by drugging her, and she can't. That's EXACTLY what the Repubs are proposing. <a href="http://www.theatlanticwire.com/politics/2011/01/republicans-redefine-rape-outraging-liberals/17879/" target="_blank">http://www.theatlanticwire.com...s/17879/</a> The official gun thing is just one more example of pandering to the gullible. I'd love for a blue state to declare something like "Utah is the official laughing stock of California," but with so many states vying for the title nowadays, it would have to be changed weekly. I'll tell you this ... if the economy can just hold out until November 2012, the Repubs are going to be routed. They sure are bringing the crazy.

Originally Posted By Donny my opinion is Health care of any kind should be funded by the state and not the federal government. But if a woman is raped then in order to get a funded abortion she should have to file a police report there is different levels of Rape but I am not really comfortable discussing such a horrible subject here in a public forum.
