Update on Spousal Rape Bill

Update on Spousal Rape Bill – I’ve heard from two credible sources that the Governor plans to include the needed funds for this bill in his budget. This appears to be the final week of the legislative session, so we should know something very soon. Stay tuned.

Of course, there is still the problem of opposition from neaderthals such as Rep. Frank Buck (D) who fear that if it becomes illegal for men to rape their wives, women might lie! Since there are plenty of neaderthals in the General Assembly, it's still a good idea to contact your Rep. and Senator (and Frank Buck) and ask them to please bring Tennessee out of the 19th century by outlawing spousal rape.

Thanks to everyone who helped spread the word about the deplorable status of married women in Tennessee. If you missed some of the discussions, you can catch up here (where there are more blog links) and at Bitch. Ph.D and Light up the Darkness. Sorry for not including all the blogs who wrote on this issue (there were a lot!).
