This is just an outdated argument of the Left.

I already responded to this, and this may sound like a reversal of my previous argument, but I'm a pragmatist, and if the health authorities do a routine D&C as a standard part of rape treatment, both to prevent disease and preventing a fertilized egg from attaching, I don't have a big problem with it.

But they don't do that as a 'rape treatment'. Generally, pro-lifers consider a D&C procedure legitimate only for saving the life of the woman in the event of a tragic tubal pregnancy. But no one calls that an abortion.
