I am pretty sure that spousal rape is recognized in most states, nowadays. And, as you say, it is not exactly relevant......

Currently, rape of a spouse is a crime in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

It's relevant to the discussion...you're mistaken.

Neo's statement,

"No one forces one to become pregnant."

is wrong.

It happens every day...in marriages and outside of marriages.

Marriage itself protects that male and his matrimonial 'right' to force sex...wich can and often does force pregnancy.

I am a matrimonial law expert, and you are quite correct. A spouse can assault and rape the other spouse. Sex without consent is rape, even if you are married.
