I am very concerned about this. Rape is very difficult to prove and is very underreported. When it is reported the victims are treated badly. With the abortion laws that are going around it seems that if you were assaulted, chose not to report, and then tried to choose an abortion you would not reasonably be able to get one in many places. Not that these laws allow for abortion in the case of rape either.

If it was shown that a person intentionally tried to ruin someone by a false allegation then I can see something punishable. However if there was simply not enough evidence and the victim brought charges in good faith then it should not be punished.
