Physical and Emotional Abuse on anyone leaves lasting Emotional Scars. Domestic and Global terrorism.

Abuses of any type can lead to long term post traumatic stress syndrome.

Is topic "censorship" really warranted or necessary in our modern day society?

We must never try to shield the truth from our children. Learning the truth about physical assaults could very well protect a child, or an adult, from future episodes.

This is an emotional story about physical assaults on women, physical abuse, rape, attempted rape, and the emotional scars that the victims never fully recover from.

It is also a commentary regarding the recent assaults on women's rights by the "conservative" radical right wing faction in this country in their absurd attempt to (save money? or simply to "mandate morality" ? or perhaps to protect the bullies and rapists that they identify with).

This ongoing onslaught of assaults by politicians, and public insults to women, and minority groups, will do nothing but enhance their trauma, by forcing them to NOT report these assaults, and returning to back room clothes hanger 'closet abortions'.

Continuing to censure the truth will further denigrate the status of women by forcing them to:

endure pregnancies that are emotionally scarring,

forcing them to endure unnecessary medical procedures,

to endure endless emotional abuse by subjecting them to badgering from religious "counselors" ,

and unnecessary auditing by Internal Revenue Service.

(these are all proposed legislature by the conservative right wing bigots in American politics today)

These proposals are reprehensible at best. (badgering: to harass and annoy persistently). (oddly enough Wisconsin is known and the 'badger' state headed by a tea party bigot). It is equivalent to being abused over and over again without any vindication.

The following is an email i received from a friend of mine after hearing the news about the 'big wig' from I.M.F. recently arrested for rape. It certainly hit home, and sparked this email to me.

Sometimes people make me sick! Everyday I open the news at A.O.L. Today I see the headlines about the maid who was raped by the big wig some people are saying that she is trying a scam. How do they know this, until it has happened to them? They need to shut their traps!!
33 years ago I was attacked and almost raped by a so called friend , a university professor, a Dr. of Science.
I was a nobody, I dared not tell anyone for I felt they would not believe me, and the situation was of such where he picked me up and took me to his house! I was supposed to have dinner with him and his wife. His wife had left to go to another Island that day and would not be returning until the day after we were supposed to meet and have dinner, this professor failed to cancel the dinner that all 3 of us were supposed to have at their house. He picked me up and took and exited me to his house to supposedly meet his wife as per our (his wife and my conversation).
when I got to the house, and excitedly stepped inside from the threshold I could see that the table was only set for 2. I asked what was going on he then closed and locked the door and told me how much he had wanted me for years and know that I would not come to dinner if I knew that his wife was not going to be there. Of course I went berserk and asked him to take me back to town, (the house was way off the beaten track up into the mountains where the well-to-do live in the Islands at that time). For a few minutes I just stood there in a daze not believing what was transpiring. This is a man I had known and spoken to for about 3 years and we had no mention of sex or love etc in our conversations. we had attended concerts and other such functions in groups and on occasions walked back to our dorms together when the others when partying. He knew that I was married and had no interest in another relationship. I gathered from his conversations that he was happily engaged (married).
When he grabbed me and threw me on the couch at the same time trying to remove my underwear, It finally dawned on me what was about to happen. In an effort to get free I bit him. As he released me crying out in pain I jumped up grabbed the edge of the tablecloth and pulled spilling the food all over. Then I jumped up and ran to the television and knocked it over and grabbed something, I cannot remember what, and tried to break the glass door, all the time I was doing this he kept trying to get hold of me as I quickly eluded his grasp I kept saying tell your wife how this got broken, tell your wife how this got broken.
He finally gave up and took me back down the mountains.
I was so scared that I started to vomit and just could not stop.
To this day I thank God that he was at least not a killer.
At the time this happened I was working for a government agency that dealt with social work cases, because he was a Doctor of the social sciences, he would call the office at least once a month, and at least once a month when I picked up the phone and heard his voice I would drop the phone run to the bathroom and puke my retched guts out.
At that time I loved Arby's and when I visited the Island that this incident occurred on I would always duck into Arby's and have a sandwich. Then one day I was walking by about to go into Arby's, and there he was eating at a table in Arby's!. Three years later, I started to vomit as the whole horrible incident washed over me just like it had just happened! Needless to say I have not eaten at Arby's for 33 years!
Of course that was the real beginning of my failing marriage, as each time my husband touched me I would panic and I would get this reaction like I was having an asthma attack, and my skin would feel like spiders were crawling all over me.
After the divorce I did speak to some one , who did not know this professor. But, the horror still lingers.

When something like this happens to a friend of ours, this feeling of complete helplessness is so overwhelming it is almost unbearable.

It is also unimaginable that any woman, man, or child must ever endure such trauma in their lives.

There is so much of this evil going on in the world today. It is also extremely disheartening that any government party would ever even consider adding to this horrible trauma by denigrating this horror, and adding to it by attempting to pass laws that would make rape in any way acceptable, tolerated, or in anyway rewarded, in a 'civilized' society.

The only people who benefit from these ludicrous laws are the insurance companies, and the idiotic moralistic religious zealots who have no concept of what 'reality' really is, in any sense of that word.
