I wish they'd left in the dialogue between her and Rorschach on the subject; do you think they cut it because he's a rape apologist therein and as this is early into the story, they were afraid the audience would take against him?
It's certainly possible - interestingly, the Ultimate Cut adds back in a scene where Rorschach and Laurie have an argument on the roof the the prison, in which he basically calls her a whore. But that's a lot later in the film, and not quite the same as apologising for the Comedian's attempted rape.
Of course, I've always found the idea that Rorschach's opinions on anything should be sympathetic rather incomprehensible. (Well, OK, I agree with him completely about Adrian's plan being awful, but apart from that.)
