Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
pain in abortion.
Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

At most I think that would be misdemeanor assault, but I'm not an atty. Hospitals make you sign consent forms for that reason. If I, as a nurse, were to touch you (a patient) without your consent, I could be charged with misdemeanor assault, even if I was merely taking your BP.
OTOH, doing tongue kissing and tit-grabbing with an underage child would be a felony in most jurisdictions.

You're welcome. I noticed that there are some gross stories popping out now about Bush I. He was a craptastic Prez but I thought an otherwise decent guy. Maybe not. Still, the women he allegedly groped were adults so other than misdemeanor assault, not as heinous as that Moore creature. Still pretty shitty though, if true. I don't understand why anyone would even bring that up now. He's in his 90s, he's dying... WTF. Leave the old guy alone. See a therapist, have a whine-and-wine sessions with your besties but shit.... leave off the old codger already.
Damn, I hate so much when my illusions of goodness are bashed into dust by reality.
AMERICAN HISTORY ITSELF IS A TESTAMENT TO THE STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE OF AFRICAN PEOPLE. WE, ALONG WITH THE COURGE AND SACRIFICES OF CONSCIOUS WHITE AMERICANS, LIKE VIOLA LIUZZO, EVERETT DIRKSEN, AND MANY OTHERS, HAVE FOUGHT AND DIED TOGETHER FOR OUR FREEDOM, AND FOR OUR SURVIVAL.
In America, rights are are not determined by what is just, fair, equitable, honest, nor by what Jesus would do. Rights are determined ONLY by what you can DEMAND.

I can't imagine why a grown man over the age of 30 would think that a staged boob-groping photo would be funny. That shit hasn't been funny since I was 17 years old. Either that, or the crowd I hang with is totally boring and out dated! It makes me lose respect for Franken, at a minimum.
The non-consensual kissing thing is really fucked up. Indefensible. How does that even cross a dude's mind? Hmmmm...."I think I am just going to mash my lips against hers and stick my tongue in her mouth"......for real?
As for the "sudden" concern about sexual assault from some jpp Neanderthals vis a vis Franken, it seems quite suspect and less than genuine.
I haven't asked Roy Moore to step down, I haven't asked Donald Trump to step down for his sexual assaults, and I am not going to ask Franken to stop down. How fucking stupid and lame is it to "ask someone to step down" on an obscure political message board?

I've been going over the kissing thing in my head. The groping pic is nothing. Poor taste for sure, but you'd have to know Franken's career.
Most of his stuff on SNL was bland for my taste. I'm sure as a comedian he's funny, and quick witted. Some of the Franken/Davis stuff was ok, but a lot wasn't really my taste in humor.
But...he, like so many before him, began in improv. It's a different mentality, and you are always thinking on the fly. In improv...it's 'anything for a laugh'. I'm guessing that he really should have considered his partner in the skit before he tried to kiss her. She clearly wasn't in the same mindset as Franken, given that she was a reporter and not an entertainer.
That was an extremely unfortunate moment for a comedian.
We can debate the differences between one who is a comedian, later turned serious politician, and one who already had a position of power, and abused that position.
Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.
