You can just allow abortion in cases of rape, and women will not opt for it. Of course, we know it's not about that.

Curious... How would you prove a rape occurred? Would she have to prove it? What if it was never prosecuted, or hasn't been prosecuted yet, certainly in the first days and weeks after the event. How would you know the difference between a rape victim and a woman who just really really really doesn't want to be pregnant? All I'm saying is that IF abortion is outlawed except for cases of rape, you have a very big practical problem that does not exist now.

No testing. And a complaint should not be necessary, since that may create an incentive to make false allegations of rape against innocent people.

What I was ssaying that, IF you are going to have a ban on abortion, you've got to have an exception for rape, at least.
