This bill will be unlikely to catch those people. All they have to do to avoid accountability is lie and they will not have to take the tests. There is a requirement for treatment and a probationary period in the bill, but no funding is specified. It is unclear if they will have to pay for treatment with TANF.

There are programs. If someone tests positive (there are no grounds for challenging false positives, by the way), they still get benefits for up to 6 months while they are referred to a treatment program. The bill (SB 2580) does not specify any funding for said programs, so their cost might be coming out of TANF…

Read the bill SB 2580 (2012). It is designed to get around those problems. I have no idea if it will fail in court.

I read the bill (SB 2580, 2012). As far as I can tell, it will only punish people who do not lie. Liars and frauds will have no trouble avoiding this. All they have to do is deny they take drugs. As far as I can tell, it forces people who get a positive test (false or not) to pay for a possibly expensive treatment…

I can never tell if cassiebearRAWR is outraged. Her comments are usually the funniest in the section, so I read them.

It is case specific. If the victim claims she was raped, but the accused says they never had sex or it was consensual, then discrediting the victim is par for the course. However, if, for example, the victim was incapacitated and only knew she had been raped, then there is no need to smear the victim. The defense…

Aw, c'mon. Do you really expect us to swallow this cock and bull story?

I agree 100%. "Born this way" has so many problems:

Wow, that is really what happened. The Chamber of Commerce wrote the bill (just shocking /sarcasm).

In our lab, studying sex differences and age differences are our bread and butter (except that study of testicular function - obviously that one was male only). I can say that grant agencies say "include both sexes" over and over again. So, you write a grant including both sexes. What happens? You get criticized for…

The Wisconsin penal code is online. It has 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th degrees. The first three offenses are defined by what happened using factors such as penetration, coersion, etc. 1st degree essentially involves cases where the victim is beaten, was threatened with a deadly weapon, becomes pregnant or is gang raped.…

Do lesbians look at thickness of other women's fingers?

Quit misrepresenting conservatives. Carrying "a reminder of her rape for 10 weeks" is a completely unfair characterization of the intent of this law. They want her to have a reminder of the rape for the rest of her life.

So, he will be arresting everyone who had been drinking. Great, "we are investigating a rape and will be arresting and charging all cooperative witnesses." Are they not a little worried that, you know, witnesses to the more serious crime will stop cooperating? "Sure, our 3 slam-dunk rape cases had to be downgraded to…

That statement was only in the headline. It was not clear on who the "others" that knew of the assault were. Assuming the headline is even correct (no exact quote from the sheriff in the body of the story), it could have been that 2 party goers knew about it.

A lot of work goes into processing these fMRI's. You cannot imagine. I know people who do this sort of thing and I cannot imagine. I don't know how many women in a sample of 64 women view porn and how much variation you expect to find. You can get plenty of light, moderate, heavy and no porn viewing in this many men.…

The caudate has many functions in modulating muscle movement, certain kinds of navigational learning, inhibitions, non-declarative memory and possibly declarative memory.

"Does less grey matter mean that they have smaller brains?"

"just talk to people"

She agreed to marry a man who killed his first wife to be with her. I shake my head with disapproval and people who commit adultery* because their partner will leave their spouse so the adulterous couple can be together. Why marry someone so unreliable?
