Okay- I need some help understanding this and I hope the large number of conservatives here can fill me in.

Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) put forth an amendment (to a bill) that would prohibit the government from giving out defense contracts to companies who PREVENT employees who are raped by other employees of that same company to sue.

THIRTY Republican senators voted against it. Can someone explain to me why anyone in their right mind would oppose this?

Thank you Stephanie. Those articles were illuminating. I am so disappointed that the Democrats took advantage of a horrific crime for their own gain. This really pisses me off. Do what you can to circulate these stories because people need to know the truth.
