I see no issue with this. If both parties agree to have sex using a condom, and then one party violates the agreement, then that’s a problem. Technically either a man or woman could use condom removal to induce a pregnancy, or spread a disease which otherwise would most likely have been contained. What does the opposing side say? I’m a pretty staunch Republican, but this seems fine to me so long as there is proof? I guess that could be a big problem is that this opens up yet another door for liars and ass holes to file false claims against others which are difficult to prove unless there is an actual pregnancy and dna test, or it can be proven that the virus given was the same strand as the perpetrator.

Well this is the type of assault Assange committed so it's going to be a highly politicised debate because of that rather than about the actually risks and harm done by that behaviour.

I don't think it is a good thing to do, but how big of a problem is it that there needs to be a law passed to deter it? It's like passing a law that says that you can't go up to someone's table in a restaurant and spit in their food.
