Read an article on something and felt compelled to post it here. As you can see i also felt the need to resurrect this thread because of how important body education is. This isn't something i normally consider. Not with this specific topic but the insane way this all played out and still is disturbs me.
Apologize if i'm doing any of this incorrectly but i feel it needs to be noted and my thinking is that this is the best place.
(Former Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin on Thursday
defended his controversial last-minute pardon of a man convicted of raping a ..., saying there was no physical evidence of her abuse.)
("Both their hymens were intact. This is perhaps more specific than people would want, but trust me. If you have been repeatedly sexually violated.... by an adult, there are going to be repercussions of that physically and medically," Bevin said.)
It would seem christianity played a part and still is in his decisions. Now here what science and scientists have to say.
(Bevin’s claim is flatly incorrect, Dr. George Nichols, who was Kentucky’s chief medical examiner for 20 years and later started the ... abuse evaluation system at Kosair Children’s Hospital, told The Courier Journal. “Rape is not proved by hymen penetration,” Nichols said. “Rape is proved by phallic penetration ... where the vaginal lips meet the outer surface of the vagina. “He not only doesn’t know the law, in my humble opinion, he clearly doesn’t know medicine and anatomy.”)
