Many women in America can’t say no.

I disagree with that statement. It is not that they can't say no, they WON'T say no, because there is no fiscal or moral reason to.

The woman we are discussing really seems to be unable to SAY no, and it is rape.

You are of course correct and that is the meaning I meant to infer with my comment.

And yes, it is rape. The solution however is not to take away the freedom of the victim. I am assuming you are not suggesting that once she is sterilized then raping her becomes OK, because while pregnancy may not be possible disease and death certainly still are.
