Under North Carolina law, women cannot legally revoke their consent to engage in sexual intercourse once that act has consensually begun, thanks to a 'loophole' afforded by the state's Supreme Court. It has also established that unwanted violent behavior during sex, as beforehand, is not a viable legal reason for having revoked consent in North Carolina, as in the case of 19-year-old Aaliyah Palmer. Most of my conversations have been educating our members about this plainly unacceptable loophole in our rape law." But after a few promising months in the North Carolina senate, it seemed some of the bill's key backers had ultimately changed their minds. I challenge anyone to explain why North Carolina should be the only state in the country where a woman can't revoke her consent to have sex.
