And that's a naive distinction because laws like that will inevitably be abused.

The way we handle rape cases in this country is terrible, there's a low conviction rape already and we treat rape victims awfully to begin with. If you add ANOTHER layer of distrust onto that with laws like this, the conviction and even the charge rate of these crimes will go down further.

False claims are very rare and I'd rather they focus on reform that benefits the scores of genuine victims before they rush to add laws to a broken system that will inevitably make it harder for victims.
