Are all of these victims being offered emergency contraception when they are going to medical facilities?

Are you fricking kidding me? That that is somehow relevant to whether or not he crawled in bed with her and tried to have sex with her?

So you are saying, Ms. Parrish, that in the medical facilities on bases they do not have a rape protocol?

I ask unanimous consent to speak as in morning business for such time as I may consume. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so ordered. Sexual Assault

The Services are consistent in their position that initial and final disposition authority should reside in the commanders, as is currently the case.

I believe maintaining the central role of the commander in our military justice system is absolutely critical.

Our commanders haven't had time right now to implement the most recent changes, and some think we need to change things again.

We cannot, however, simply prosecute our way out of this problem.

Sexual assault and harassment are unacceptable problems within our military and our society.

We must never take this vital readiness tool from our commanders.

We cannot abolish sexual assault by legislation alone.

This responsibility is particularly important as we evaluate the effectiveness of the UCMJ in the context of combating sexual assault.

We should not delay considering things that could make immediate, positive changes.

In a combat environment, noncompliance with rules and undisciplined operations cost lives and negatively impacts the mission.

Under the Constitution, Congress has the unique responsibility to make rules to govern and regulate our military.

We must allow our commanders an opportunity to address those recent changes in the law and to monitor and assess their effectiveness.
