2. The GOP has already said women should stay with abusive spouses. Some states have given rapists

Visitation rights.

Some states have eliminated domestic violence laws. Others eliminated rape crisis centers and battered women's shelters.

The fundies push fathers saying when and who their daughters will marry. Next will be forced marriage.

Abstinenance will be the only legal method of birth control and if someone is raped and gets pregnant, it's not really rape. So marry him, or somebody. No mooching.

What could possibly go wrong? And people are saying they'll have to hold their nose to vote for Obama for *what* reason? I guess this won't affect them or they don't mind being ruled by the American Taliban.

Next up, read The Handmaiden's Tale. They've been putting this out for a long time, what makes anyone think this is a joke? We might as well wise up.
