And I'm sure they have those daughters on a regular basis!

From the article:

to never set foot in a red state again... there is this bit of stupidity.

This makes no sense.

misinterpreted. An unconscious person is 100% unable to give consent.
From what I remember, the only time I remember unconsciousness equals consent is the Heimlich maneuver.
Was the young lady choking on broccoli at the time? No? Then it was &@&@ rape!

There are more coming down the pike too.

Of course, this "opinion" isn't just held by conservatives. It also depends on the victim and, in some cases, the sex of the attacker. If there is no consent, then it is rape/sexual assault. Rape is rape, regardless of the attacker or the victim. I find it troubling how many people try to find "outs" in regards to rape and sexual assault.

...it's not rape.

Got it.

When does the evacuation of young women from the State of Oklahoma begin? We can probably find shelter for a few here.

How is it 2016 and we have not made a national regulation/rule/law that rape is illegal. Period. All rape not just icky rape caught on video that is aggresious.

then has oral sex with her while she is unconscious, that would be okay with the judges who made this ruling. I think this one just might get overturned.

with themselves as the victims. Would they think it OK then?

That they'd order the death penalty if their sons were the victims

Asshats one and all!

must be something weird in it.

Just wanted to make sure I had this right, because that must be what Jeebus would do!

Why do they have to make a claim like "state law doesn’t criminalize oral sex with a victim who is completely unconscious." --which is so patently ridiculous?

If they want to argue that she gave a blowjob of her own free will, fine, but why does it have to get blown up into such a silly broad ruling (or claim)?

Common sense has little to do with the law. The problem illustrated is that the legislators are incapable of writing a statute that is clear and complete.

the girl , 16, is not old enough to give consent. Drunk/drugged/asleep or not.

Isn't that federal?

That's some fucked up shit.

Where'd they get their legal degrees, Wallmart School of Law?

So they're doing their jobs right. I think it's the third or so post upstream from the top that talks about it.

God, I swear things just continue to get worse and worse for women and girls in this country. We might as well get it over with and declare Sharia law.
