Do Republicans Hate Women? Part 1

Ok so that title was to get you attention, though sometimes it does feel like the Grand Ole Party has it out for women. Take these guys, for example. They all voted against Franken's Anti-rape bill.

Here's an excerpt from Jaime Lee Jones' story: my comments in italics

Her employers [KBR, a Halliburton subsidiary] response to her claim was to lock her in a sparsely furnished shipping container with guards and no communication, food, or water. [This was after she was gang raped and beaten] Jones eventually convinced a guard to loan her a cell phone where she call her Dad who contacted his congressman who contacted the US Embassy in Baghdad who freed her. She was examined by army doctors who photographed her bruises and believed her wounds suggested vaginal and anal rape. They treated her with a rape kit and turned it over to private KBR security forces. The rape kit was later lost.

Here's some info on Franken's Amendment

What I'm hoping for is a legitimate conversation on why these men think it's ok for the government to do business with companies that don't protect rape victims. Besides the fact that they are owned by Halliburton.
