Bill to outlaw marital rape gets no support from Republicans ind.pn/2lqpsy9

Bill to outlaw marital rape gets no support from Republicans

Who proposed it? Confused

OP posts:
GingerIvy · 28/02/2017 21:42

A proposed law that would make it illegal for husbands to drug and rape their wives has found no backers among Republicans in Ohio.

The bill is the second introduced by Democrat state representative Greta Johnson to address the “unacceptable” loophole in Ohio law that means prosecutors must prove there was “force or the threat of force” for a sexual attack by a husband or wife to be considered rape.

Cases in which the spouse is drugged do not qualify for prosecution, Ms Johnson said.

Ups, sorry, I misread it.

oooh Gaetz from FL is a dick. He doesn't want Trump investigated.

AcrossthePond55 · 28/02/2017 22:09

Trump has been surrounded by 'yes men' so long that he no longer knows how to keep telling a straight story or handle someone pointing out his lies. Even now that he has people and the press watching his every word, he still doesn't get it. He has to find someone else to blame, even if it doesn't make any sense.

"Obama's behind the protests!!!!"
"The Dems are behind the JCC bomb threats!!"

"It's not my fault for telling lies, it's your fault for catching me!!!"

All I can do is hope that the press, the public, and Dem Senators and Representatives keep calling him on his bullshit until he implodes from his inability to accept the truth.

GingerIvy · 28/02/2017 22:19

Have to stop listening to the house judiciary committee. My god, the GOP members are seriously fighting to keep Trump from being investigated.

amispartacus · 28/02/2017 22:20

It's not my fault for telling lies, it's your fault for catching me

There must be a description for a personality like that.

Imagine if he had an affair. His wife would be blamed for finding out. His friend would be blamed for telling his wife he was having an affair. The person he was having an affair would be be to blame for setting him up.

It wouldn't be his fault.

cozietoesie · 28/02/2017 22:50

It doesn't mean that they don't believe there's a .......problem, Ginger.

GingerIvy · 28/02/2017 23:01

It was so ridiculous. Grown men sitting there saying "oh come on, they're just jealous that we won!!" Seriously???

cozietoesie · 28/02/2017 23:12

I'm afraid so - they'll likely circle the wagons on this one. They haven't had all their pet likes and dislikes addressed yet - and there may well be some of them that don't want too bright a light shone on.......various financial matters.

GingerIvy · 28/02/2017 23:19
