Clearly you've never been friends with or known anyone who was raped, never seen what it does to them. If you had, you'd rescind that statement in a moment.Well, perjury is an act of treason. By definition alone I believe that makes it worse.
Actually perjury is not an act of treason, it's an act of miscarriage of justice. Even in a litigation standpoint of punishment, perjury carries a 5 year prison sentence. Rape can carry a life sentence. The harm brought via perjury is far less than the harm brought by rape. And rape also includes the molestation or sexual assault of children. What you believe and what is reality are two different things, here.
