    There is a small link on the page that says "Problems viewing this site? click here" That worked for me.

    "We have concluded that the acronym U.S.E. (Unplanned Sexual Event), when used regularly to replace the word 'rape,' will remove the stigma associated with this sometimes unpleasant situation. It is our mission to protect the innocent lives of the babies that are part of His plan and eliminate the excuses given by many women when a precious baby just isn't convienient [sic]."

    ^ ummm I think the [sic] belongs after the phrase "sometimes unpleasant situation."

    I guess sometimes rape is good or bearable?

    I think the writer for that baptist-whatever needs to take some writing lessons from Thomas Lake.

    And that is all I have to say about that.

    You may have to be a member of Salon.com, which I am so I can see it, but usually they have a guest login option available, hmm.

    Well, here's the story, credited to Lynn Harris of Salon.

    No excuses for survivors of "unplanned sexual events"

    The blog of a group calling itself Baptists for Brownback 2008 has launched a campaign called "Cry USE not RAPE." Their manifesto: "We have concluded that the acronym U.S.E. (Unplanned Sexual Event), when used regularly to replace the word 'rape,' will remove the stigma associated with this sometimes unpleasant situation. It is our mission to protect the innocent lives of the babies that are part of His plan and eliminate the excuses given by many women when a precious baby just isn't convienient [sic]."

    Boy, could that Nebraska judge have used their help. Except, yeah, this is satire. (So, it seems, is this.) Sick genius satire, if you ask me: shades of Atwood and DeLillo (though here and there, I find it goes a bit too far). (Certain clued-out commenters don't.) Like that Onion piece a while back, this one gets filed under funny scary.
