It seems there is a new bill in the House of Representatives that seeks to redefine rape. The new definition states:
"Those who were raped while drugged or unconscious, or through means of coercion, would not be covered. Survivors of statutory rape would not be covered: "if a minor," one is only covered in case of incest. And if one is a survivor of incest, and not a minor, that's also not covered."

We're probably all on the same side on this one: protecting women and encouraging the government to make a difference elsewhere. Leave those 191 women alone; they've got it hard enough.
