Certain sexual assaults against a spouse will now be criminalized in West Virginia for the first time under a law signed Friday by Republican Gov. Jim Justice.

The law removes marriage as a defense to first- and third-degree sexual assault.

    To be fair, those weren’t Jesus’ words, they were Paul’s. But as I said, Jesus hated divorce and women were not considered equal to men, so he might not have had much of a problem with it.

        Considering the first “official” Catholic Bible was not assembled until over 300 years after his death, I’m going to say no.

          I’ll follow this logic path. It was assembled 300 years after his death, but the Catholic Church claim(ed/s) to have God’s phone number through the Pope, so wouldn’t Jesus have been like “yo, pops, you gotta tell them to take out that rapey shit before I get me too’d”.
