That is not the case in every state, and states define what is forcible rape.
Point well made, Redress. . . So if it's different in every state then obviously the federal government cannot define it - and thereby submits to each state's interpretation and application of the terminology.
Quite reasonable - if someone doesn't like how their state defines it then they need to take that up with their state. The federal government cannot change that.
And therefor they cannot create their own definition - lest they favor the definitions of one state and chasten the definition of others. That's not how things are suppose to work.
