Proposed bill would rewrite Maryland's rape law


Lawmakers in Annapolis are considering rewriting Maryland's rape law.
The change would remove a requirement that a victim has to provide evidence that he or she physically resisted in order to prove a sexual crime.
Bill supporters said current state law has it backward, and they believe that with the changes, investigators will not have to ask whether the victim fought back.
The legislation would radically change how police treat rape and sexual assault victims. In addition to a lack of consent, current state law requires evidence of force or the threat of force.

Have to be careful here. There are many instances of false allegations. Very difficult to prove one didn't commit the alleged act.

A venomous woman is a dangerous thing, men will be afraid to even make a pass at a woman. This is going to be a big mistake a lot of good men are going to have their lives ruined because of some lying pissed off broad.

Notaries should do a brisk business certifying pre-consent forms. Set up shop next to the bars and ring the cash register!

All it takes is a simple text message or two. No need for notaries. Even better, don't have sex with someone that you barely know or is drunk and you met in a bar.

Muslims need not worry. They are exempt from rape charges. Just ask a liberal.
