Found it: Franken amendment

SA 2588. Mr. FRANKEN (for himself and Ms. Landrieu) submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by him to the bill H.R. 3326, making appropriations for the Department of Defense for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2010, and for other purposes; as follows:

On page 245, between lines 8 and 9, insert the following:

Sec. 8104. (a) None of the funds appropriated or otherwise made available by this Act may be used for any existing or new Federal contract if the contractor or a subcontractor at any tier requires that an employee or independent contractor, as a condition of employment, sign a contract that mandates that the employee or independent contractor performing work under the contract or subcontract resolve through arbitration any claim under title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 or any tort related to or arising out of sexual assault or harassment, including assault and battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, false imprisonment, or negligent hiring, supervision, or retention.

[Page: S10070] GPO's PDF

( B ) The prohibition in subsection (a) does not apply with respect to employment contracts that may not be enforced in a court of the United States.

So it's not so much "anti-rape", though it has that effect, as it is the prohibition of contracts denying employees the right to sue for civil rights issues, sexual assault, and various other crimes.

Again, what were the Republicans voting against, exactly?

It's the usual thing - for all the waffling these idiots bang on about "personal responsibility", they have no problem taking the power away from the individual to do just that.
