Respond to of 1573248 Rape and the Right to Choose Moonbats hold forth piously about the sanctity of a woman’s right to choose. Sometimes they bring up rape in this context. Setting aside abortion, an agonizing issue because it is complicated by the rights of the child, they are right that rape emphasizes a woman’s right to choose — that is, to choose how to defend herself: Kimberly Corban, who as a college student in 2006 was sexually assaulted and subsequently became a gun owner and passionate defender of gun rights, told a forum at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) that as “a survivor of rape … I want my right to choose how to defend myself,” and that is “with a firearm.” … “I had to lay there at 20-years-old and think, okay, this is how I’m going to die,” she said. “It was in that moment when I was completely defenseless that I knew I was not going to let this happen to myself, my children, or anyone else, if I was able.” “I took my Second Amendment rights very seriously after that,” said Corban. I trained and learned that concealed-carry was the way I wanted to best defend myself.” “It wasn’t until 2013, when Colorado was trying to pass an expansive gun control package that I got up off of my couch and down in the seats in front of my own senators that worked for me, and told them this is how this is going to impact me,” she said. “I am a survivor of rape, and I am telling you I want my right to choose how to defend myself,” said Corban. “And that, for me, is with a firearm. Why are you trying to legislate me into being a victim?” How much easier the abortion decision is if it never has to be made because the woman was able to defend herself. - See more at: http://moonbattery.com/?p=69811#sthash.QwA4okdt.dpuf
