Just think, if the GOP agenda against women comes to fruition,

these men could end up appealing their convictions for rape under religious grounds.

Suddenly, serial rapists would be considered evangelists!

Interesting argument!

Not to hi-jack your thread, But ...

I really hate posts like this; showing the mug shots of convicted criminals, especially in any discussion of rape.

My reason: These pictures all make the rapists LOOK like monsters and/or obviously scary people. While, their acts, indeed, make them monsters and/or obviously scary people; the typical rapist, does not LOOK like a monster and/or obviously scary people, rather they LOOK like "joe-next-door".

Okay ... Please go on ...
