‘Traditional’ rape should be considered a serious crime because there is a risk of deadly disease transmission with it.

The risk applies to any mucosal orifice and it would make sense to expand the law to include pen.. penetration of other orifices and all cases of possible deadly disease transmission.

“Two finger” penetration or touching with fingers normally carries a negligible risk of disease transmission. The law might provide for an enhanced penalty if disease was transmitted.

Traditional rape is consider a serious crime because it is a serious violation of the woman. It is not “She might catch a disease” but a violation of who she is with the possibility of then becoming pregnant with the attacker’s baby.

It has been a very serious crime for at least 3,000 years. Old Testament Law:

“23 “Suppose a man is caught in a town having intercourse with a young woman who is engaged to someone else. 24 You are to take them outside the town and stone them to death. She is to die because she did not cry out for help, although she was in a town, where she could have been heard. And the man is to die because he had intercourse with someone who was engaged. In this way you will get rid of this evil.

25 “Suppose a man out in the countryside rapes a young woman who is engaged to someone else. Then only the man is to be put to death; 26 nothing is to be done to the woman, because she has not committed a sin worthy of death. This case is the same as when one man attacks another man and murders him. 27 The man raped the engaged woman in the countryside, and although she cried for help, there was no one to help her.

28 “Suppose a man is caught raping a young woman who is not engaged. 29 He is to pay her father the bride price of fifty pieces of silver, and she is to become his wife, because he forced her to have intercourse with him. He can never divorce her as long as he lives.” - Dt 22

Notice a woman in a crowded area, where she could get help, if she does not ask for help, is to be put to death along with the man. And 3,000 years ago, when women were treated more like property, a woman not engaged to be married andwho is rape then became the rapist’s wife, to be cared for, for life, by the rapist - along with a large fine.

I’m not suggesting we go back to laws from 3,000 years ago, but we shouldn’t have much tolerance for someone crying “Rape” if the supposed rape happened in a crowded store with people just a few feet away...

If it happened the way she said, both she and Donald should be punished. But I don’t believe a syllable, let alone a word, of that vile woman’s testimony!

Which is why it has no effect. No one outside of NYC or DC believes ANYTHING a jury in those banana republics says.
