A follow up to: http://www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/index.php?image_id=2379265 The term "Legitimate Rape" is far worse than just the sexist attitude it sprang from. Ever heard "Rape is at the same time the most under reported and over-reported crime"? Well that's largely been true in history. If a teenaged girl ended up pregnant and admitted she'd been sleeping around she'd be killed or thrown out with maybe the clothes on her back by her "Good Christian" parents. On the other hand, a fake charge of rape would be the excuse they were looking for, she'd either be able to get an Abortion or have the kid and give it up for adoption, and it would end there. Or it wouldn't if some people, like in the Deep south put on white sheets and got revenge on the vague description of a black man, or a drifter/lower class person in the non-south. So they are wanting to not only bash RoeVWade but put in a "Personhood" Amendment no less. They know full well the "Good old Days" they long for, mainly from the perspective that a MAN might be charged falsely by his one-night girlfriend to get an Abortion. So "Legitimate" rape comes in. How is it proven? Well, even a quickly resolved trial takes months and months... So indeed many rapists might be able to escape justice by having the woman drop charges in exchange for an admission. Charges are almost never pressed in such a case. And before anyone yells this is far fetched, note this; Today many rapists escape charges by threatening to sue for custody / visitation when they get out of jail. Likewise, with a "Personhood" amendment, go to Canada or elsewhere for an Abortion, be charged with murder on return, or "Attempted Murder" if they spy on the phone/email/google searches before the trip and catch the person going there. So amusing how people who scream "Small government" care soooo much about a woman's body. For real fun google "Romney computer porn block" to see how much they care about what you do legally in the privacy of your own home with your own computer...
