Eve Was Framed

This is beyond sickening.

With this legislation, which was introduced last week by Rep. Chris Smith (R-N.J.), Republicans propose that the rape exemption be limited to “forcible rape.” This would rule out federal assistance for abortions in many rape cases, including instances of statutory rape, many of which are non-forcible. For example: If a 13-year-old girl is impregnated by a 24-year-old adult, she would no longer qualify to have Medicaid pay for an abortion. (Smith’s spokesman did not respond to a call and an email requesting comment.)

How likely is it that this will pass? Does anyone know? If it does, it affects me personally.

I’m on Medicaid. Yep. And to all of you privilege-denying welfare wankers (not that I should have to justify anything), I can’t work because a) I’m disabled and b) even if I was well enough to work, I wouldn’t make enough money to cover how much of my monthly payment is cut. I actually had a part-time job lined up recently, and I couldn’t take it because it only paid minimum wage…but I can’t really get a job that pays anything else, because hey, I’m 21 and I have very little experience and basically no qualifications. It’s awesome. Oh, and my monthly payment? $670. Because I’ve never worked a full-time job, that’s all I get.

So if I’m drugged and raped, and I don’t fight it…well, I’m on my own. Wow. This is disgusting. I am so ashamed of America right now.

Other types of rapes that would no longer be covered by the exemption include rapes in which the woman was drugged or given excessive amounts of alcohol, rapes of women with limited mental capacity, and many date rapes.
