Another Rape Law

That's a GREAT idea. In fact, it should fit terrorism too: threatening harm to people in attempt to force them to do what you want. Because rape is a traditional weapon that men use to manipulate women. And hey: hate crimes. Women are a protected category in many hate crime laws, and all these attacks on reproductive freedom are targeting women exclusively; this one just happens to be the assault/rape version.

I like the blog badge that goes, "I am a slut. I vote. All the people who have sex with me vote. In this next election, you're about to be more fucked than I am."

I've bailed out of health care things before because they crossed the threshold of manipulation, extortion, or other mistreatment I was willing to tolerate in order to get them. And people are always shocked that I have that threshold; they just don't expect to be said no to. They certainly can't comprehend that their behavior is so bad, it's worse than most physical complaints. I've met some practitioners I wouldn't tolerate for more than a few minutes, and others who were minimally offensive and the best of bad choices; but never one who really met my own standards.

I remember reading an article about a senior citizen once, who had collapsed and nearly died at home. That was a conscious choice, and described as, "I would rather lie on the floor in my own home and die, than be dragged to a hospital, tortured, and treated like a disobedient four-year-old." I can't argue with that.
