Hey! John McCain and 29 other Republicans think that gang rape is perfectly ok. Fact is they voted against an anti gang rape bill last year.
Sec. 8104. (a) None of the funds appropriated or otherwise made available by this Act may be used for any existing or new Federal contract if the contractor or a subcontractor at any tier requires that an employee or independent contractor, as a condition of employment, sign a contract that mandates that the employee or independent contractor performing work under the contract or subcontract resolve through arbitration any claim under title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 or any tort related to or arising out of sexual assault or harassment, including assault and battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, false imprisonment, or negligent hiring, supervision, or retention
To prohibit the use of funds for any Federal contract with Halliburton Company, KBR, Inc., any of their subsidiaries or affiliates, or any other contracting party if such contractor or a subcontractor at any tier under such contract requires that employees or independent contractors sign mandatory arbitration clauses regarding certain claims.

The point was made though, 30 Republicans sided for tax payer dollars going to companies to try and cover up gang rape.
Which means those 30 Republicans including John McCain are pro gang rape.
BTW, I started to watch your video, but.... The Youngs Turks???? Really???? From someone who continually lambasts Fox News as being biased?
In a move to curve abortion rights, the GOP decided to redefine rape as being only a product of force. This will effectively make date rape and other such non physical forced rape no longer rape ... . verses...meh...just sex
...
This will have consequences in real rape cases..."it is not rape, the federal government no longer recognises date rape as per this bill, therefore case dismissed!"

Way to grab one reference out of the odd 30 presented.
As for the bill itself, as the actual bill (thank you for posting that beezer) only pertains to abortions, I don't really see how the rape topic is relevant to this thread at all.
The bill only cites "‘SEC. 309. TREATMENT OF ABORTIONS RELATED TO RAPE, INCEST, OR PRESERVING THE LIFE OF THE MOTHER." (from beezer's post)
It doesn't look to change the definition of rape or how rape charges are applied. It is trying to limit funds for abortions only...shameless money grab? yes. Relevant to rape in law? Not so much.

Until the federal government takes these sick rapists and puts them where they belong, for life, then the federal government should pay for abortions that a rape victim wants to have. Period.

I don't want my tax dollars going to pay for mandatory arbitration in any case, let alone a case of gang rape.
To supposedly fiscally conservative republicans, saving tax payer dollars from being wasted seems like a no brainer.
