    Requiring a police report of rape would get you over halfway there. And I hate having this conversation because I completely disagree with the idea, but acting like it’s impossible to implement doesn’t help anyone. We should argue against it because it’s a bad idea, not because the enforcement would be tricky.

      The filing a report becomes paper work to get an abortion.

      Edit: Also, I don’t know if requiring a police report counts as sensible. There are legitimate reasons a woman my not want to file a police report: they don’t want to make trouble with the rapist (boss, parent etc), they were raped by a cop.

        You think they wouldn’t waste a bunch of time looking into it, when it gives them an opportunity to oppress the bodily autonomy of women? C’mon. This is the police we’re talking about.

        Unless they think it’s real, then they won’t bother.
