RAPE IS RAPE! EXCLAMATION POINT!

WE HAVE MUCH WORK TO DO IN THE WORLD!!! "Legitimate rape" in the United States, the "Infant Cure" around the world, "Corrective rape" in South Africa. She could be your sister, your daughter, your partner, your mother----If you are not outraged- you are not paying attention!!!!!!!!!!! We must stop the assault on women's bodies globally, we must educate boys and men why rape is a crime against the soul, we must do the cultural work to show why women and girls should be valued and we must work for stronger legislation. Peace, love and change the madness!!!! Read the full article here... http://oblogdeeoblogda.me/published/
