Given the general indifference Republicans show towards women, it will surprise many around the world that GOP senators joined with Democrats to unanimously pass a bill giving basic rights to sexual-assault survivors.
The “Sexual Assault Survivors' Rights Act” introduced by Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H) establishes the right for victims' to have their rape kits preserved for free and prevent rape kits from being destroyed until the statute of limitations ends in the state where the crime occurred.
Victims must receive 60 days in advance notice of the kit's expiration date from the state is also a provision in the Act.
Had this bill passed congress after Trump becomes POTUS, it would have been assured a veto.

If you agree with me that's fine. If you do not, I don't really care.
