Subject: RE: BS: Life sentence for rape victims?!!
Of course, it's a nasty and ridiculous stance, but people that was proposed in 2007. Meanwhile --
==========
the average new prostitute is 13 years old

many people, including children, are going hungry
unemployment is terrible

60% of the students in my city drop out of high school

51% of the children born last year were born to unwed mothers

every week or two, there is a little article in the newspaper about a baby or small child being beaten to death, usually by an unrelated, unemployed male on drugs
==========
The candidates and the media are suckering the people of this country into emotional debates on extreme events which rarely happen. It's time to ask the candidates about problems which affect many people. Also, about problems where SOMETHING CAN BE WORKED OUT.

In other words, please stop being suckered by the media.
