the purity myth

please read this book
eye-opener to the whole notion of women's sexuality
god forbid that people begin to trust
and allow us to make decisions for our bodies

i won't say much.
because i really want you to read it

but here is a quote that earned a special place in my heart
(for all the wrong reasons)

"A real-life description to me would be a rape victim,
brutally raped, savaged. The girl was a virgin. She was religious.
She planned on saving her virginity until she was married.
She was brutalized and raped, sodomized as bas as you can possibly make it,
and is impregnated"

Bill Napoli
Former South Dakota Senator, responding to a question about what kind of woman
should be allowed to have an abortion.

(i happen to think that his idea
is far too graphic
and perhaps he enjoyed this misogynistic scene
a little too much)

in summary:


if you aren't religious
sorry. you weren't raped and no abortion for you.
if you weren't a virgin before.
sorry. you weren't raped. and no abortion for you.
if you weren't almost killed
sorry. you weren't raped and no abortion for you.
and it continues

more importantly:

if you are a victim of sex trafficking
sorry. you weren't raped and no abortion for you.
if you were sold into prostitution by you parents
sorry. you weren't raped and no abortion for you.

dear bill napoli: you disgust me.
