if a 14 y/o girl gets raped, she’s forced to carry the baby to term, but if we even suggest ruining the rapist’s life, nooo thats a bit too far

It’s not backwards at all, it is a common sense policy to deter those from committing rape and to remove rapists from society

deterrence doesn't hold up. the national research council concluded there's no reliable evidence the death penalty deters crime. and most rape victims know their abuser, often family. making rape a capital crime gives rapists a reason to kill the only witness and makes victims less likely to report someone they love. the supreme court cited both of those when it struck it down for child rape. if we want fewer rapists, we need upstream prevention, not downstream reaction.

It does not hold up here as it reduced chance of being caught, also it is shown to deter in places like the uae, China, Saudi Arabia

We can do both prevention and reaction
