Offering emergency contraception is part of the procedures that hospitals are supposed to follow when treating sexual assault survivors, whether they choose to press charges, make a statement to police or allow the hospital to complete the kit and do the physical examination.

It is 100% understandable WHY a sexual assault survivor would have a huge problem with having someone who assaulted her and could limit abortion on the supreme court.

Sexual assault and abortion are closely linked. Kavanaugh being a federal judge was one thing - being a supreme court justice is something else entirely.


You do not need Pilates today, you have stretched quite enough.


Well said.

I guess I am not surprised that some people refuse to actually look at these issues. YES, sexual assault and abortion and emergency contraception are inextricably linked.

There are bills in a couple of states now limiting abortion and criminalizing it for women who have been raped. There are states that refuse to allow medicare to cover emergency contraception and allow pharmacists to decline to fill those prescriptions.

Please learn about these issues. You have access to the internet. Everything is at your fingertips.

Julie Swetnick and Christine Blasey-Ford are no substitutes for winning elections.

Christine Blasey Ford was telling the truth. The White House spiked the investigation. You support an attempted rapist, a perjurer and a weak, financially compromised political hack.


I still do not understand why she did not call the police immediately after the attack while Kavanaugh may still have been at the party and there may have been witnesses who at least heard the assault. Seems irresponsible on her part.

You can read up on the subject. It was discussed ad nauseum when Blasey Ford came forward. There’s a degree of shock, disbelief, not wanting to believe that that just happened to you, and the fear you won’t be believed.

Turns out that that last fear of hers was very much grounded in reality.


Since you are trafficking in suppositions, let me give you some better reasons: She was afraid of getting into trouble with her parents for being at a party, drinking beer, and putting herself into a compromising position with boys who had been drinking beer. The MoCo police would have taken her to the local precinct, called her parents, and then interviewed her about the sexual assault. It would have been an embarrassment to her and her parents with whom she already had a strained relationship. She made the calculus that nothing really happened so it was best not to bring it up. She did the original coverup and would only shed light on it when her opinions about abortion felt threatened. Yeh, there's a reason she is a psychologist. Most people who enter that profession have their own mental issues to address.



You would think that someone who considered all the ramifications would be able to remember a significant detail - how she got home that night in the days before cellphones and uber.
But, she couldn't. Because, had she shared that detail, the person who she claims "retrieved" her would be yet another person who would testify that her fantasy never happened.

Again, read up on trauma. You just sound ignorant.

And be honest. Even if Bretty came out tomorrow and said, “yeah I tried to rape Christine, and I raped three other women, including a teenager just last year!” you would still think he’s perfectly suited for the job.


You have gone around the bend on this. Your fan fiction about Kavanaugh is eroding your capacity for rational thought.

Don’t insult me.

And it’s not “fan fic” about Bretty; it’s a point about his defenders’ - your - reactions.


DP. But your “point,” has no basis in reality. None. He has maintained his innocence throughout. Stop making up hysterical hypotheticals, thinking they’re somehow making your case. On the contrary, your fan fiction only makes you look more unstable than ever. And if you’re insulted by that truth, maybe take a good hard look at your crazily inappropriate remarks.

DP. WTF? No one would defend someone who admitted to rape, you dumba$$. The point is that he denies this alleged attack ever happened. You can’t simply insist that it did - with zero evidence or corroboration. We all know in your perfect world, you could condemn anyone you wanted, for any reason at all. Here in the US, you can’t do that. Sorry.


AGAIN, you don't know what you are talking about. There does not have to be a rape kit. There does not have to be a witness. Wake up. There was evidence. You are just flat out wrong here. It sounds like you have very little experience with our court system.


Um, no. What “evidence” is there that the allegation ever actually happened? Do tell. I could claim you groped me 35 years ago and according to you, it would have to be believed. Might want want to be careful what you wish for.

You may be surprised to learn there are people who certainly are not Trump supporters but who are disturbed about a process that used baseless accusations as an excuse to drag a man's name through mud to score political points.

I’m appalled at you, “not Trump supporter.” Blasey Ford’s accusation wasn’t baseless (it also isn’t the only the black mark against Bretty: perjury and mystery payoffs to massive debt being two) and if you thought it should have been better investigated, well you and I agree. The White House spiked the investigation. Why? Because they knew there was merit, and probably a lot more victims.

So since you answered my post with an inane and irrelevant post, please answer my hypothetical: if Brett came out and admitted to assaulting CBF and raping other women, would you find him unsuitable to be on the Court?


The answer to this is of course.

But Ford had zero supporting evidence for a 30+ year old claim and as for rape Swetnick was quickly discredited. I am not sure what perjury you are referring to except that he denied these allegations, which does not constitute perjury

And as has been explained to you time and time again his finances were covered in a closed hearing--if those at the hearing thought there was any there there, they would have raised it in the open hearings. But they didn't and it is very likely his parents paid off his debts.

But, she couldn't. Because, had she shared that detail, the person who she claims "retrieved" her would be yet another person who would testify that her fantasy never happened.

Again, read up on trauma. You just sound ignorant.

And be honest. Even if Bretty came out tomorrow and said, “yeah I tried to rape Christine, and I raped three other women, including a teenager just last year!” you would still think he’s perfectly suited for the job.


You have gone around the bend on this. Your fan fiction about Kavanaugh is eroding your capacity for rational thought.

Don’t insult me.

And it’s not “fan fic” about Bretty; it’s a point about his defenders’ - your - reactions.


You may be surprised to learn there are people who certainly are not Trump supporters but who are disturbed about a process that used baseless accusations as an excuse to drag a man's name through mud to score political points.


Just because there wasn't a video doesn't mean "baseless" allegations. There was corroborating evidence and he is unfit for the Court anyway.

Also there was no "process." There was a sham investigation, sham hearings, sham everything.

But the GOP got their conservative court as the world literally burns.
