Redefining rape?

A far-reaching anti-choice bill includes a provision that could redefine rape. Date rape? Not rape anymore. Drugged? Nope. Show the GOP "no" means "no" - sign the petition demanding Congress oppose this horrible legislation.

A far-reaching anti-choice bill, introduced by Republican Chris Smith and supported by 173 members of the House, includes a provision that could redefine rape and set women's rights back by decades.

Right now, federal dollars can't be used for abortion except in cases of rape, incest, or when the woman's life is in danger. But the Smith bill would narrow that use to "cases of 'forcible' rape but not statutory or coerced rape."

As far too many women know, bruises and broken bones do not define rape - a lack of consent does. Please sign the petition today.
