But, the "reproductive rights" advocates are correct to warn their legions that it won't stop there.

Yes they are. And rightfully so...

Those that would not make provision for forced conception (rape) need a little introspection.

There's no reason why the 'fairer sex' can not live up to the same post-coital responsibilities that we demand of menfolk - but when one's free will re: pregnancy has been subjugated, matters change.

Subjugated, who is more subjugated than the baby? You probably wouldn't like to be executed for a crime your father committed. It's easy to say yes to abortion when you are not the one being killed.

Women are hurt by abortion, yes including those resulting from rape. Would you like to wake up screaming and crying realizing that you had killed someone in the past? Abortion Hurts Women. Too.

[To supplement your predominate good reasoning on the issue ;) ]

P.S. The rape exception also shreds the pro-life premise that we are talking about another, separate human life. If it is a living child, it can't legitimately be killed. Not even if its father was a rapist. ;)

If we justify killing a rape baby, any argument against abortion on demand becomes ridiculous.

It makes no sense to link the baby's rights to how it was conceived -- as if a consentual-sex baby is human, and a rape/incest baby is subhuman.
