Someone gets the reaction we should have to South Dakota. So I'll let them speak.

There is a qualitative difference between "don't have sex" and "don't let the men have sex."

Bringing us full circle to Weds and Amber.

There's a qualitative difference between "letting the men have sex" and "being unable, for myriad reasons, to effectively mount a defense against a man seeking rape." The bigger problem in South Dakota at the moment is the latter, IMO, because some people are evil shits, and this law allows their victims no recourse (save leaving the state to seek services, which may not always be financially/ physically possible) against the additional psychological violation of bearing a rapist or a relative's child.

And let's face it, odds are the relative is also the rapist.
