    We have neither a rape culture nor an abortion culture. We have a culture in which rape is regarded as one of the worst crimes ever and reproductive freedom is a right. I like this culture. https://twitter.com/MitchumsGhost/status/983864799867080705 …

        If that was true no one would have voted for Roy Moore, how seriously do we really take sexual assault in this country when we elected a president that bragged about it on tape?

        But he very close to it, and that should scare everyone. We like to say that rape is a horrible crime, but we don't always act like it. Especially when it's a person of interest (athlete, actor, etc...)

        Theft. If I say "my car was stolen", nobody asks "sure you didn't just give it away?". Nobody asks what I was wearing. Nobody says "maybe you teased the thief" or "boys will be boys". Nobody says prisoners should have their car stolen, but "hope he gets raped" is common.

        You think theft is taken more seriously than rape because people don't give cars away as often as they have consensual sex? Do people really say 'Boys will be boys' about rape? Don't rapists have to be separated from other violent criminals for their own safety?

        I agree that sexual assault of men is not taken very seriously tho, particularly when done by women.

        That's a definite example. And not because people don't give cars away - because false reports of rape are no more common than false reports of robbery (sorry!) (https://www.omicsonline.org/open-access/the-prevalence-of-false-allegations-of-rape-in-the-united-states-from-20062010-2475-319X-1000119.php?aid=86695 …). If we took rape and robbery equally seriously, we should be equally accepting of reports.pic.twitter.com/8vYhDLcMi4

        Abstinence is also destroying a potential human being.

        No, the egg and sperm die. That unique person will never be.

        The potential dies when the egg and sperm does. Tell me, what actual difference would it make it to you if you never experienced existence because your mother abstained from sex, used contraception or had an early abortion?

        Why? Why is that the point? It's clearly nothing to do with the consequences for the potential person. What is this based in?

        really depends where you live & your gov, muricans have strong Bible lobby, so even if abortion is legal on paper, they make it as hard as they can to get one resulting in raped kids being forced to have kids (hell half the states have worse child marriage laws than Afghanistan)

        Isn't that an abortion culture?

        If that's how you define abortion culture, then yes. But it's fairly meaningless if anything you have a right to constitutes a culture.
