This is an interesting take but I feel like space pregnancy isn't the thing to be worried about.

Sexual assault in space is kind of a weird one, too, at the very least with respect to space tourism.

There are already loads of scenarios on Earth where even properly responding to an assault means that the victim and attacker are in the same vehicle for a meaningful length of time. Space doesn't change that.
