Yay! The Republican attempt to redefine rape, by eliminating some types of rape from the definition of rape, fails!
The GOP has agreed to withdraw the language they tacked onto a routine renewal of federal language regarding abortion funding, language trying to defund some womens health care in case of rape.
This is great news for all women.
Maybe now the Congressional Republicans could address job formation, and economic recovery?

House Republicans Will Drop "Forcible Rape" Definition from H.R. 3
Following weeks of protest from women's groups, Democrats, and what many are calling the power of political satirist Jon Stewart, House Republicans announced this morning that they will be dropping the "forcible rape" language from H.R. 3, also known as the No Tax Payer Funding for Abortions Act, and will return to the language of the Hyde Amendment.
