Some Republicans in favor of rape?
Today in the Senate they voted on a legislation proposed by freshman senator Al Franken (D-MN) that would make it illegal for the government to give contracts to contractors abroad who have a clause in their hiring contracts that specifically says that applicant will not bring lawful suit if he or she is raped while on the job.
This comes as a direct result of a young 19 year old woman who was gang raped by co-workers while stationed in Iraq under the employ of one of Halliburton’s subsidiaries. She did sign a pre-employment contract and it does say that she would not bring suit in a situation that she is raped, the company assumes no responsibilities, therefore she can’t sue her ex-employer.
The Senate vote was 30 Republican opposing it. What the Fuck? Are these people nuts? They voted swiftly against Acorn and all that was were a few employees advising persons posing as prostitutes (does the word entrapment ring a bell?) But rape, that is nothing, at least it represents their lack of concern for women’s issues and it also reflects on the general attitude of macho bravado that celebrates a woman getting what she deserves, otherwise she would be married and a housewife staying at home and not in Iraq.
Political commentators like Keith Ohlberman are accusing Senate Republicans of hypocrisy — and even outright support of rape — after thirty of them voted against a measure to de-fund military contractors who prevent rape victims from seeking justice. Sen. Al Franken introduced an amendment to a defense appropriations bill that would prevent the federal government from funding contractors whose employee contracts prevent workers from pursuing allegations of rape against co-workers. The measure passed the Senate by a vote of 68 to 30, with all 30 ‘no’ votes being cast by Republicans. Notably, 10 Senate Republicans voted for the measure, including all four female Republican senators. Franken was inspired to push the amendment by the story of Jamie Leigh Jones, who was an employee of KBR — at the time a subsidiary of Halliburton — working in Baghdad’s Green Zone when she was allegedly gang-raped by other KBR workers.
