No Abortions For Raped Military Women

The Senate recently passed the buck on voting on legislation to amend a current law stating that military women who were raped are not able to receive abortions. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian discuss this terrible story.

Physical trength is not required to commit rape. There are weapons. There are date rape drugs. There are all kinds of means by which the physically weak can rape the physically strong. @ToKyoBraZilBoriCua77

It's true that men are less likely to be raped (though there's some dispute as to the extent of the difference) but that's more because men are less likely to be unwilling in the first place.

Even so, people should be treated as individuals, not for the sex they happen to be.

Awesome rant by Cenk. I'd be wanting to put some U.S. army issue bullets through the skulls of these cunts that forced a rape baby to term.

Hideous morality.

once again, rape is glorified.

If you are a person who is against abortion because you think it's wrong, horrible, and disgusting, here is my message to you:

You BETTER be a vegiterian.

I can gaurentee that abortion is just as sick as the process that is used to kill animals that we eat as meat. If you don't believe me, go see an animal getting killed just so you can enjoy your MacDonalds happy meal.

Actually psalm 137:9 was speaking about pagans, not God saying abortion is ok. Hosea 13:16 was talking about a curse. Try reading the scripture around the verse to get the full story next time. P.S. We're not living in the old testament anymore. ;)

Lets see what the bible has to say about abortion.

"Happy is the one who takes your babies and smashes them against the rocks!" Psalm 137:9

"The people of Samaria must bear the consequences of their guilt because they rebelled against their God. They will be killed by an invading army, their little ones dashed to death against the ground, their pregnant women ripped open by swords." Hosea 13:16

God seems to condone abortion.

@borgking001 u say that if women werent in the military they wont get raped. Not true bcuz if its the sick bastards that are "protecting" us or a perv on the streets until these men stop being fucking perverted pigs rape will still exist and a women shud be able to goto war without sum scum of the earth assaulting her point blank. They protect our country just as the the so called men do. So pretty much im just saying that that comment was nearly as stupid as u r.

Cenk Uygur my good man, i think i respect you more each personal thought you have on women rights. and i can say that i do not like males at all. their needs to be more like your, opened minded, fair, and most of all logical thoughts on these aproachs.

[HiddenFacedMatt]

That would not constitute a counterargument, though @Hyperplaterine

[Hyperplaterine]

@HiddenFacedMatt Here in England we would describe you as a fucking retarded dickhead.

[TheFloralDiaries]

Hasn't the argument always been that the state or government should not have to pay for abortions in the first place? For the most part I agree that: they should not (unless it were employer-provided health care). I disliked this video because TYT made it seem as though any woman in the military who becomes prenant from rape could not receive an abortion so they carry to full term, that is not true--the fact is that the government/state/whatever would not pay for it. An important distnction.

[MarcusKiner]

@angeleyescu That's your reasoning? LOL, seriously??
