PBS Host Slams Conservative Woman: At Your Age, You're Unlikely to Be Raped

Debating gun control on PBS's To the Contrary back on May 13, 2000, shortly after the Million Mom March, conservative Linda Chavez pointed out that living in a rural area, the police could not arrive fast enough to adequately protect her from a potential murderer or rapist.

Host Bonnie Erbe retorted: "I would bet that you have a greater chance of being struck by lightning, Linda, than -- living where you live and at your age -- being raped. Sorry."
