If youre a regular blog-reader, youre probably already familiar with this horrible story. If not, heres a recap:
A 21-year-old woman was raped recently in Florida. When she went to report the crime, she wasnt helped, but thrown in jail for an outstanding warrant from a 2003 juvenile arrest. As if that wasnt enough, she was then denied emergency contraception because someone working at the jail didnt want her to have it and cited "religious objections."
What a great legal system weve got, eh? As attorney Virlyn Moore said, "So, here we have a medical supervisor imposing her beliefs on a rape victim. As a human being, how someone could be so violated by this monster and then the system comes along and rapes her again psychologically and emotionally - its outrageous and unconscionable."
Outrageous and unconscionable indeed. Use this form to contact the Hillsborough County Sheriffs Office and let them know what you think about these horrendous actions. I am so damn angry I can spit nails! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!
