Duncan, I would hardly say that Republicans oppose that law. I guess what I would say is if Franken felt so strongly about it why didn't he actually introduce it as a bill instead of trying to slip it through as an amendment on a defense appropriations bill. Must look at the big picture instead of picking and choosing what fits your argument.
I especially like the fact that your first sentence was...
"Senator Al Franken introduced a BILL that would allow people (women) to sue their employers if they are raped on the job." yet further down in the paragraph you say "Franken introduced the bill (OR AN AMENDMENT TO)" as if there is no difference. I know why because if you would have specified amendment to an unrelated bill in the first sentence your argument isn't as shocking and doesn't make the point you want it to make. (BTW why did you specify that it allows only WOMEN?)
