Stories like this really make me need to watch that doggy video

Oh reproductive rights, how I love you so. But why must the world hate you? What did you ever do to all those men out there (and those women who don't believe they are worthy of rights)? Were you the bully on the school yard? Do you have body odor? I don't understand! I will always be there for you!

And now you need to be there too:

Sign this petition NOW Why? Because: A young woman was raped by a man who grabbed her as she was walking to her car from a local parade. After she called police and reported the crime, it was discovered that she had an arrest warrant out for her [which turns out to be a paperwork mistake from when she was a JUVENILE]. [...] Apparently the medical supervisor at the jail wouldn't allow her to take EC because it was against her religion.

This story makes me sick, and is a glaring reminder that women are still second class citizens in the United States, and are still being refused their Constitutional rights, and are still having to remain vigilant against fucknuts like those in this story.
