Justice

7 Jan

Today I read an article that made me so happy.  The United States is set to expand its definition of rape.  Since the 1920s, rape has only been defined and statistically counted as “vaginal penetration by a man.”  That means men who were forced into having anal or oral intercourse were not considered “raped.”  Women who were forced into intercourse by other women were not considered “raped.”  The list goes on.

Just another way the Obama administration expands justice in this country.  Overlooked definitions can mean a world of difference to victims.  Thanks to Mr. President for not overlooking this one.
