YeaHR3 redefines RAPE TO FORICIBLE RAPE.  Women would have to prove they physically fought their attacker.  NO - would no longer be good enough.  Women that were date raped or drugged and raped would have no legal grounds.  In this Bill children of incest would have to prove they tried to fight off the adult or the sex would be considered allowed freely.   If women wanted to get compensated for the costs related to their rape, they would have to file a claim with the IRS. The IRS would determine if their rape was legitimate and decide if the women could be compensated.  Smith's HR3 Bill became known as the Rape / Audit Bill.  June 8, 1999H Amdt 142Prohibition of Chemically Induced Abortion Amendment(BIRTH CONTROL PILL IS CONSIDERED A CHEMICALLY INDUCED ABORITON)Amendment Adopted - House
