Now this is an area where reliable statistics are impossible to gather and those that are gathered are likely skewed towards the negative. But
womensissues.about.com
86% assaulted
55% assaulted by customers
88% threatened
83% threatened with a weapon
68% raped
48% raped more than 5 times
46% of rapes were by customers

Why don't we just make hits legal and be done with it? Some of the victims survive so it isn't always murder.

And that's the answer to the "we can't stop it; legalize it" argument. We can't stop murder either; legalize it and tax it. If we could stop any of the crimes on the statute books, we just would and they wouldn't be there.

rapeis.org

FYI, I'm not religious right. I'm atheist and agnostic on alternate days (indecisive, I know).
