Rape laws exist to prevent (and punish) a horrible act.
If a specific rape law included a clause saying, “if she gets pregnant, it doesn’t count,” then that would be a problem wouldn’t it?
Despite the original intention of the law, it would be used to harm people.
So we should seek to improve the wording of that law so it cannot be abused.
There are people who purposely word things in ways that allow them to take advantage. For example, again, the inclusion of “degrading” in this law.
I’m curious what good you think would come of including that word and how it compares to the likely abuse of it?
You are literally trying to stop people from criticizing the wording of laws because, what, some shitty slippery slope argument that doesn’t even logically follow?
Oh no, if we care about the wording of this law, we’re gonna start caring about her wording of every law! We can’t have that!
Yeah you’ve completely missed the fucking point.
