Rape and incest have a home with the Republican religion, not their abolition, but their utility. It seems absurd that the Republican party on the one hand declares itself the family values party while on the other hand giving men dominion over women in such demeaning and humiliating ways. The Republican men, and the women who subjugate themselves to them, have devised a religion where the poor and the needy are NOT the focus, where instead the focus is on men who can dominate all the resources, including people as resources. The Republican Bible has at it's core the Ayn Randian philosophy of selfishness. This selfishness is to be honored above all other choices for living. It is what makes living within the bounds of the Republican religion so easy. The attraction is that those who are greedy and who want to be more than just mortal, can live like a god on Earth while feeling no conscious conflict. Their egos are given full reign over their doubts and in that they have achieved a state of nirvana. By allowing for rape and incest to be "necessary" Republicans have destroyed the idea of equality between the sexes and have given themselves an avenue to "take" what they desire for their own fleshly seductions. The Republican religion has effectively given men the sovereignty over women that they undoubtedly feel is their right. That the Republican women have abdicated their rights to their Republican men is distressing but revealing in that they have been stripped of their own decency and honor to the point where they can only see a world where the Republican men can use them for whatever purpose the Republican men desire.
