O.K. I admit, I've used a bit of Hysterical Hyperbole here. But it isn't far off the mark, and fits well within the Colorado Theocrat's Dominionist World View. I am left gasping for air by the comments made by a Colorado Talibangelical Senator. Regarding the debate on Senate Bill 60, Emergency Contraception for Rape Survivors, Talibangelical Wing-nut Dave Schultheis, wondered how doctors would "determine that a person actually did incur that sexual assault." "Are they going to take the word of that individual?" asked Schultheis. "You could see individuals coming in that just wanted to make sure that last night’s stand didn’t result in a pregnancy and basically say that they had been sexually assaulted" to get the contraceptive. My first reaction is a Twighlight Zonish feeling. I think I have been swooped into some kind of alternate universe. I still can't breathe. What's next Dave? While the ER techs are tending to her wounds, and calling for a rape kit, you want to have some Talibangelical Overseer there to call her a shameless whore? Will you condemn her for not walking in the company of your Talibangelical Elders? What about that burqʿah, not black enough for ya, Dave? When will the stoning begin, Dave? I call on all decent people everywhere to condemn this crude misogynist for his hate-filled rhetoric. Send him your thoughts at dave@daveschultheis.com
