Reply #2: sign the petition

Dear Kansas MoveOn member,

A few days ago, during a debate on a bill to ban insurance companies from covering abortion, Kansas State Representative Pete Degraaf said in a House debate that women should "plan ahead" for being raped.

Shockingly, he added that planning for rape is similar to having a spare tire on one's car. Rep. Degraaf's statement is a stunning display of Republicans' disrespect for women.

Rape is not like getting a flat tire—it's a horrific crime. That's why I created a petition to Rep. Degraaf and the rest of the Kansas State House, which says:

"Kansas State Representative Pete Degraaf said in a House debate that women should "plan ahead" for being raped and added that planning for rape is similar to having a spare tire on one's car. Rep. DeGraaf's terrible analogy is deeply offensive and disrespectful to all victims of sexual assault. He should apologize."
