First, the law does NOT jail a patient who has an abortion ever. It jails the doctor - for clarification.
Consider the following points.....
1) it’s actually a rare occurrence to see a pregnancy after a rape, yet this allows a permanent universal loophole for everyone to get abortion on demand. Your argument allows the exception to dictate the rules to all, and provides no actual protection to the 99.9% of the other cases.
2). Remember Norma McCorvey? I heard her talk. She was Jane Roe, and the landmark case on this whole abortion issue was based on a lie. They claimed that she was raped (using the very arguments that you use now) when she later admitted that was not and that they told her to claim that she was raped to help her case. She had a conversion later in life and became a staunch prolife advocate. She adamantly testified that the pro abortion arguments are built on,lies...and she is right. The pro abortion movement will abuse the exception to the detriment of untold numbers, all for the dry rare event.
3). My initial point still stands as well.....granting the rare case can occur, the unborn life is still an innocent and pure human life who committed no wrongs.
4) you wrongly assume that the abortion will result in less trauma to the rape victim when in fact it compounds the problem, and victimizes the rape victim a second time.
5). The following scenario takes place per protocol around the US in ER’s.....rape victim comes in - evaluated, rape kit taken, and then one med is given....an abortifacient. And in almost every case that I have ever seen at different hospitals, the patient is not counseled on what that med does. So the victim of a violent crime goes to a hospital from help and is then victimized a second time. What if the woman is prolife? The medical people & PP people are often making the decisions rather than giving the patient informed consent because they think that they know best.
I do understand your points, but I also know that there is another side to this story.
