Can Rape Be Provoked?

frank h writes "This article in the LA Times decries the establishment, in the law, of the recognition of the provocation of rape in northern Mexico. While I don't know the details of how it's implemented, I applaud this measure and I think that the states in the US ought to recognize this notion as well. Hopefully, we have some Mexican readers out there who will let their legislators know that they agree with this instead of allowing only the women to speak against it." I agree that an open discussion on this topic should be allowed - and that somehow we've got to restore some balance to rape laws, which currently give false accusers too much power and not enough accountability.
