Illinois law believed to be first of its kind in the country Wednesday, July 30, 2003 Posted: 10:10 AM EDT (1410 GMT)
SPRINGFIELD, Illinois (AP) -- A new rape law in Illinois attempts to clarify the issue of consent by emphasizing that people can change their mind while having sex.
Under the law, if someone says "no" at any time the other person must stop or it becomes rape. The National Crime Victim Law Institute said it believed the law is the first of its kind in the country.
Lyn Schollett, general counsel for the Illinois Coalition Against Sexual Assault, said the law was important to make it clear to victims, offenders, prosecutors and juries that people have the right to halt sexual activity at any time.
"I think it will empower prosecutors in charging cases where the victim and the offender have a sexual history," she said.
But the director of the Victim Advocacy & Research Group in Boston said it would be hard to imagine courts not upholding a woman's right to withdraw consent.
"To me, it's demeaning," Wendy Murphy said. "It's like the old saying: 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it.' I don't think it was broke."
The law was inspired by a California case involving two 17-year-olds who had sex at a party. The girl changed her mind about having sex, but the boy did not stop immediately.
He was charged with rape, and it took years for the courts to decide that he could be found guilty under California law. The California Supreme Court ruled in January that a man can be convicted if a woman first consents but later asks him to stop.
Lawmakers said they wanted to avoid the same kind of long legal battle in Illinois. Gov. Rod Blagojevich signed the law Friday but did not announce it until Monday.
____ I have some family in Illonois but I will never live there. Their gun laws are bad enough, but this is stupid!
Bitch: Officer, I changed my mind while I after I climaxed but he didn't stop can we put him in prison for 15 years?

I think the maximum penalty for that should be a small fine.

-----You don't see any women complaining about making rape laws even worse.
Men: 'We are frightened of all of malicious/liberal whores who will trick us into raping them and then send us to prison and they will watch Mad About You re-runs instead of scrubbing the floors, etc.'
Women: 'Seriously, you can't have sex with us if we don't want you to. Just because we're fucking stupid (or, say, drunk or you're a coercive asshole) and we let you put your penis inside of us a little bit and even move it around, doesn't mean we sacrifice ownership of our own bodies. Get over yourselves. There is no feminist conspiracy to send men to prison for rapes that they didn't commit. Show us some statistics or something more than, My cousin's friend's nephew got it on with this bitch and then the morning after she called the cops and said he raped her.'
Men: 'Ehhh. We still run the world, you dumb bitches.'

this whole issue would be a lot less confusing if women didn't so often say 'no' and really mean 'yes'

But, saying things like, "Women 'no' and really mean 'yes'" and, "This law won't work because women lie too much" is meant to support a sexist idea. Neither of those things really makes any sense. It would be like saying, "Making stronger laws against shoplifting would only encourage more store managers to bring false charges against innocent shoppers!" (But you wouldn't say that because you don't have the deep loathing and mistrust of store managers that you do of women, right?)

What if the woman just quietly mumbles "no" or says "aren't you done yet" If the guy keeps going is that rape, and how long should he go to jail?

She should have to forcefully make the point, probably, or it's too bad. If you were having sex with a guy and you reconsidered, even though you'd done ecstasy with him at a circuit party and gone back to your apartment, and you told him, "Please stop penetrating my asshole with your cock," you should expect him to stop. I don't know about a sentence. A maximum of half of whatever a maximum rape sentence is and a minimum of I don't know. I don't know if it's a good idea to consider it half a rape and I don't know what a good sentence would be.

That's my philosophy. Best is to beat off until you're almost ready and then stick it in. Then it's just boom boom boom and you're done.

I believe that anytime a woman tells you to stop, you stop. That is pretty simple. If you don't stop you are forcing her to do something she does not want to do. I wonder how many false claims actually happen. I would think this is a lot more prevalent in younger girls who regret doing it in the morning, so the yell rape. I would also think that this would amount to a small percentage of actual victims though. That is pure speculation on my part though.
Anyway the problem with the law is how do you prove it? Would there be any physical evidence? I guess there would have to be some sort of physical damage to show a struggle happened. Otherwise it is just he said she said. It seems like this will just make it even harder to figure out if a woman was raped or not.

Do you have any idea how hard it is for a guy to stop once he's going? Once the girls moaning and you're going who knows what shes saying, not that you could stop anyways. I think someone could shoot me with a small claiber pistol and it wouldn't much affect me much until I was done.

Now there's an idea who's time has cum.... I mean come. But how do you explain it to your (anyones) significant other?
-------------------- You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers
