ezs note:  Oh, great.  A man sticks his schlong into his wife/girlfriend's vagina, and suddenly they're "experts'.  Listen, there's a world of difference between advice from great aunt Gertrude and someone who's actually studied six to eight years.  There's also a difference between consent and informed consent.  Ohioans, urge your state representative and state senator to vote NO on this stupid bill.

ezs note:  If you are represented by a Republican who serves on the House Armed Services Committee, it's time to let your voices of displeasure be heard. In addition,  if an opponent is running, it may be time to send a bit of money their way.  Hey, it may be only five or ten bucks, but the earlier the better.

Here's the offenders:

Vicky Hartzler (4th MO)

Pete Sessions (32nd TX)

Tom Cole (4th OK)

Rob Woodall (7th GA)

Michael C. Burgess (26th TX)

Doug Collins (9th GA)

Bradley Byrne (1st AL)

Dan Newhouse (4th WA)
