    The document discusses affirmative consent laws and their potential impact on sexual assault. It argues that such laws, which require affirmative consent before and during sexual intercourse, will help curb sexual assault on college campuses. Specifically, the document notes that affirmative consent laws will enable prosecution of assaulters, and may encourage victims to come forward knowing they have legal protection and support. While such laws may initially increase reported cases, over time the overall number of assaults could decrease as prevention improves.

    Affirmative Constructive Speech - 4 min

    Attention Getter

    Sexual intercourse is a very important topic to


    discuss. This topic can be very difficult to talk
    about but it is important none of the less.

    Link to Thesis

    People should have the freedom and the right


    to choose when they want to have sexual
    intercourse so they are not forced into any
    uncomfortable situation.

    Thesis Statement

    I feel that affirmative consent laws will


    significantly curb sexual assault on US
    campuses.

    Preview of points

    In this speech I will be covering what


    affirmative consent laws are, why they are
    important, and how this law can help other
    people.

    Sign-post Transition

    People are realizing that sexual assault is


    becoming a big issue and are addressing this
    problem.

    Main-points/Analysis

    Bill 967 in California (the bill on affirmative


    consent) states that students attending
    colleges and universities must receive
    affirmative consent before and during the
    intercourse.
    The Policy on consent says that a person
    who is intoxicated, unconscious or asleep
    cannot give consent of any kind.
    If this bill is put into action, this will provide
    the students with a sense of protection
    knowing at anytime they can say no. Also
    this will encourage people to be more open
    about their sex lives.
    According to CNN 1-5 women in college
    receive and experience of sexual assault.
    Senator Clair McCaskill out of 440 colleges
    and universities, more than 40% have not
    conducted a sexual violence investigation in
    the past 5 years.
    If this law is put into effect, it will enable
    prosecution of individuals who have
    wrongfully sexually assaulted another
    individual. Victims may be more willing to

    step forward with the support of this law and


    prosecutors maybe more willing to bring
    cases about sexual assault to court.
    Conclusion

    In my speech I have covered what affirmative


    consent is, why its important and how this
    law can help people.

    I am not saying that this law will initially
    diminish all sexual assault cases. After the
    law is enacted, there may be a false increase.
    With this law we may see an increase of
    cases before the decrease. This law may get
    people to report more cases and over time
    the amount of cases will be lowered.

    This law will give people the confidence to


    report instances of sexual assault. People
    are normally shameful about reporting these
    cases and some are just scared that
    authorities are not doing enough. Going back
    to one of my points out of 440 colleges and
    universities 40%

    Review and Reinforce AFF points

    According to Rape, Abuse and Incest


    National Network, 60% of all sexual assaults
    are not reported. This law may give people
    confidence to report more cases. Out of 100
    college girls, 20 of them receive an
    experience of sexual assault. Eight out of the
    20 report these cases.

    Closing Statement

    I feel that affirmative consent laws will


    significantly curb sexual assault on US
    campuses. This law may give people the
    confidence to speak up and over time, the
    number of sexual assault cases may be
    lowered.
