I don't understand what you're saying.
What you said here:
That said,... do you not agree that the longer the woman waits to report the rape (talking weeks not minutes here),... the more she 'consents' to the conditions of her pregnancy?
Implies that you believe she would somehow be aware she was pregnant immediately following the rape.
That's not what I'm saying at all.
I am only trying to stress the importance of reporting a rape as soon as possible (as in many cases the pregnancy can be prevented). And I am also trying to remain to the legal precidents that say the longer someone waits to report a crime,.. the more they own the consequences.
It's the same for if your home is burgularized and you wait a month to report it,... You may still get a police report,... but it wouldn't be the same as if you reported it immediately and gave the cops a chance to find the burgular still in the area.
