All this does is make sure that any woman who wants an abortion just has to lie about rape or get a doctor to sign off that she's in danger if she doesn't get one. It's like the draft...the government is going to force people who can't or won't lie their way out of it to sacrifice in a manner the well off or well-connected don't have to worry about.
And as for rape, just because someone did something illegal to you doesn't give you a free pass to do something illegal to the baby. If we empower the government to legally declare a fetus a to be a person with rights, I don't see how any exceptions can justify killing the baby. I know this is getting off-topic, but I'm just saying asking the government to step in and then expect them to only step so far may be a bit of a risky bet.
my daughter in law kanisha explained it like this to me an really sort of change my thinking on it. what if some one steals a baby an leave it on your doorstep. what if the govt says well you the baby ended up here cause of a crime but now you have to raise this baby. it dont matter that you didnt ask for it or that it happened from a crime or that there is options to where you dont have to take the baby. your have to cause were forcing to.
im not explaing it as good as she did. i probably butchered it. but it really made me think.
