When Is Poop Not Poop?

When it's rape.

In a case that's getting national attention, the Nebraska Supreme Court may have to decide if a woman can use the word "rape" in her alleged attacker's trial.


A Lancaster County district court judge told her she can't use it.


"I refuse to call it sex, or any other word that I'm supposed to say, encouraged to say on the stand, because to me that's committing perjury. What happened to me was rape, it was not sex," said Tory Bowen of Nebraska.


Truthy bad, truth good.
