I still haven't been able to wrap my mind around "legitimate rape" and "forcible rape." I thought all rapes were forcible or they wouldn't be rape. When was rape ever legal (legitimate)? Any intelligent man knows that if a woman says "No" to sex, then it's time to back off and leave her alone; she is not his property. I honestly believe that all those politicians need to give much thought to what they are going to say before they speak. Too many of them are shooting off their mouth before they put their brain into gear.

To kygorski, I am one of those "right to lifers" and adopted one of those little angels who was conceived out of wedlock. My church aids girls who get pregnant out of wedlock, helps to pay for their prenatal care if needed, and supports their decisions to either keep the baby or place it for adoption. We haven't had but a very few girls who have gotten pregnant so we don't have an orphanage but do help to support one so the babies will be well protected and cared for.
