- Neither. You, however, seem to be both.

- No, I asked you to apologize to them for implying that refusing to
- have sex was a sure way to avoid getting pregnant, which is what
- your original post implies.
-
- >Number one, abstinence is a sure way to prevent pregnancy. I do NOT believe

- >had anything to do with being raped, nor did I intend it.
- Abstinence can be a difficult thing, sir. It is quite difficult to be
- abstinent when someone is holding you to the floor and forcibly penetrating
- you.
-
- Your snide response that "pants" is a perfect contraceptive reminds
- me of nothing more than the implication that a woman who was
- raped "wanted it". I remind you that it was not so long ago
- that Steven Friend claimed that women who were raped secrete a chemical
- which prevents them from getting pregnant.
