Republicans have introduced so many new types of rape recently—legitimate rape, honest rape, emergency rape, forcible rape, gift-from-God rape—that it's getting difficult to keep track of them all.
Fortunately, Daily Kos community member Brainwrap put together a handy chart that helps sort out all of the confusion.
GOP Rape Advisory Chart
A week or so ago, connecticutie posted her version
of the GOP Rape Advisory Chart to help sort out all of the confusion
about the wide variety of rape "flavors" that today's Republican Party
seems so hell-bent on bringing to light.
I thought she did a fantastic job, but, given the latest entries into the "rainbow of rape flavors" yesterday and today by Richard Mourdock and John Cornyn, I decided to create a revised version that plays it straight--I'm just including the actual quotes themselves. Feel free to repost on FB, TW or wherever you wish.
So, without further ado, I present the updated Republican Party Rape Advisory Chart:

So, without further ado, I present the updated Republican Party Rape Advisory Chart:
Wow. I'm beyond flattered (if "flattered" is the appropriate term...seems a bit inappropriate in this case).
Anyway, just to reiterate, since I've had at least one person contact me directly about it, please feel free to repost the graphic anywhere you wish, and don't worry about "credit" or "attribution"...the color-code chart was connecticuties, as noted above, and I certainly don't want "credit" for the disgusting statements by the GOP jackasses in the chart.
Also, if you want to attach a link to the chart, I'd recommend either a) ANY of the Democrats running against the scumbags who made the quotes (there's too many to list again) or, alternately, RAINN or Jamie Leigh Foundation, both of which seem appropriate.
Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network
The Jamie Leigh Foundation
In case the name Jamie Leigh Jones doesn't ring any bells, here's a reminder...it's the 10 most riveting minutes of video you'll watch today, believe me:
I should probably also note that the chart above is far from all-inclusive. Several additional quotes are listed in the comments, and there's many (far, far too many) more that haven't been yet.
Unfortunately, I don't think Photoshop could handle that large of an image file if I tried to include them all, and I'd quickly run out of background colors to use.

Update x2: To fight back against the Republican war on women, please contribute to the Daily Kos-endorsed women who are running for House and Senate.
Update x3: Be sure to check out Volume II of the chart, posted today in a new diary.
Update x4: Extra props to connecticutie, who came up with the "terror/rape chart" idea in the first place...give her blog some love, willya?
