NC Republican claims "no one forces anyone to have sex."

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Nobody should ever have to justify why they want or need an abortion. But there are some circumstances, such as rape and incest, that make it even more unconscionable to deny pregnant people of their fundamental right to choose.

And now that the Supreme Court has chosen to overturn Roe v. Wade, undoing nearly 50 years of federal abortion rights, some Republicans are trying desperately to justify a decision they boldly and unapologetically support.

In a now deleted tweet, Rep. Greg Murphy, a Republican who represents North Carolina’s 3rd Congressional District, boldly proclaimed that “no one forces anyone to have sex.”

It should go without saying that people do force other people to have sex, and it sometimes does result in an unwanted pregnancy. Nearly one in five women has experienced completed or attempted rape during their lifetime, according to research from the CDC. Many men are victims of rape, too.

2. Extra item on that note: Consensual sex is fun, it should be fun, it shouldn't be a source of dread

We have a critical problem if we have billionaires who have their idea of fun being "I have 44 billion dollars lying around, I feel like buying Twitter today" and we have poor people who can't have fun without it potentially devastating them.
