You're an idiot.
Your thread is a waste of space.
Not much else to say...
Well, we'll let other people decide for themselves.
But thanks for your totally unfounded and baseless opinions.
You're an idiot.
Your thread is a waste of space.

You are still avoiding my questions. I suspect the reason for your obfuscation is you are smart enough to KNOW how rapists are caught, prosecuted and convicted. The TRUTH is Dixie, there is no way for a rapist to be caught, prosecuted and convicted WITHOUT burdening a rape victim with requirements like invasive tests and examinations. And no rapist is prosecuted for rape everyday in Illinois, WITHOUT these provisions (invasive tests and examinations) being met.
The legislation in question here, is to protect rape victims from public disclosure AFTER CONVICTION!
(This would be AFTER the rapist had been prosecuted and convicted.)
.http://dailycaller.com/2012/10/25/f...tecting-rape-victims-in-99-state-senate-vote/In a 1999 legislative vote, then-Illinois State Senator Barack Obama was the sole state senator to not vote for for a bill that would protect sexual assault victims from having the details of their cases revealed publicly.
I'm more interested in current events...and you just want to dwell on the past. I am disappointed.
OK Dixie, everyone can see what your tactics are. You refuse to answer my question because you know the only way for a rapist to be caught, prosecuted and convicted is to burden a rape victim with requirements like invasive tests and examinations. And no rapist is prosecuted for rape everyday in Illinois, WITHOUT these provisions (invasive tests and examinations) being met.
Well Obama's bill didn't get signed, it was vetoed...
Well Obama's bill didn't get signed, it was vetoed, the version without the mandates and burdens on the victim DID get signed and is the current law of the land in Illinois. I don't think rapists are going scott-free in the state, do you? Again, this legislation has nothing to do with prosecution and conviction, it is about what can happen AFTER that has occurred. It simply doesn't matter with regard to prosecution and conviction, whether EITHER version was passed or not.
You want to make it about that, because that is how dishonest you are.
That is only HALF of the bill Obama co-sponsored Dixie. The other half is IDENTICAL to the House bill. So the TRUTH is, the bill Obama co-sponsored offered MORE support and protection for rape victims than the House bill.
SO...your premise 'Obama refused to support rape victims' is total BULLSHIT. You are a disingenuous piece of shit Dixie....some things never change...
I guess Dixie is more interested in current events selectively.
It incentivizes those who do not wish to submit to tests to lie about causality so that they are not forced to endure a further violation enforced by the government on their body.OK Dixie. Please answer a few questions that require explanations.
1) How would the proposed bill "help" rapists?
2) How are rapists caught, prosecuted and convicted Dixie? Please explain what evidence is needed to take rapists off the street and how that evidence is gathered?
I'll be waiting Dixie...balls in your court...
Read your own links to the two bills, Bfoon. Obama's version protects rapists at the expense of rape victims. The version signed into law, protects rape victims and ensures their rights to privacy. Obama did not support that version, he was the ONLY Senator to vote "present" and go on record as not supporting it. That's not dishonest, that's the facts. You continue to want to insist the bills were the same, but that's just not true, and doesn't even make rational sense. What is the difference? The difference is, Obama's version mandated the victim be subjected to mandatory tests and the information turned over to law enforcement without their consent. His rationale was supported by Human Rights Watch, an organization devoted to protecting rights of the criminally accused... (not rape victims, but rapists.)
WOW Dixie, you are turning the possibility of an adult discussion into a childish and ignorant rant on your part. HOW does Obama's version protects rapists at the expense of rape victims?
It incentivizes those who do not wish to submit to tests to lie about causality so that they are not forced to endure a further violation enforced by the government on their body.
Evidence is gathered through the regular means, however the rights of the victim are protected. In this new law they'll be forced to undergo testing they may believe increases their sense of violation. The government forces them to endure what they may not wish to endure.
It seems strange that people who are upset about an ultrasound that they may have to take before they abort would champion this...
Well Damo, let's take a different look at the provision with some important considerations.
1) Is rape solely a private crime, or a public crime? Should there be any consideration for possible future victims by allowing a rapist to get away with the crime, 'this time'?
2) From an angle that a conservative 'should' endorse: If a female knew that accusing someone of 'rape' would mandate invasive tests and examinations, if would stop any frivolous cases where a 'rape' accusation is used as reprisal.
Ever notice a tendency by JPP righties to dismiss Bush-era events as "ancient history"?
Yet here we're reaching back to 1999...
