Should FBI Redefine Rape?

To include the possibility of female rapists?

Um, YES!

Decisions regarding rape and the classification of rape should not be determined by those who want to limit abortions.

That's an odd question, because 1) the FBI does not define anything (except for in reporting numbers), they're not an legislative or administrative branch, but an executive one 2) the federal government has no statute for "rape", but a myriad of sexual assault statutes.

The real problem with people's understanding of the law in this category is the fact that its all a form of sexual assault. It's tough to understand what happens when the newspaper reports an assault, which varies from low level harassment to a violent rape at gunpoint.

This is all about post hoc classification, not the prosecution of crimes.
