Republican: If a Woman Has Right to an Abortion, a Man Should Have Right to Force Himself on a Woman
Republican Maine state Representative Lawrence Lockman is under fire for comments hes made in the media regarding rape, abortion, and homosexuality.
An investigation by Mike Tipping, an activist with Maine Peoples Alliance, found numerous offensive comments made by the Republican in various newspaper interviews.
Perhaps the most inflammatory was a press statement from 1995 in which Lockman says If a woman has (the right to an abortion), why shouldnt a man be free to use his superior strength to force himself on a woman? At least the rapists pursuit of sexual freedom doesnt (in most cases) result in anyones death.

(370 posts)The punishment for rape should have nothing to do with whether abortion is legal or not. What do these two things have to do with each other?
