You must follow from that into the realm of law where you have NO ABORTION but with a RAPE EXCEPTION.
With no rape, there's no abortion. if there's a claim of rape, but the accusation is false, there's still no abortion. If the rape can be proved, then you execute the rapist and the kid, right?
Now, what happens if this takes so long the baby is born, but you do find out the guy was a rapist. Do you then execute the baby as well as the rapist?
What if it languishes for years ~ due to faulty evidence, can we track down the offspring once they reach adulthood and skrag them?
What are your cutoff points. What are your details. How do you deal with reality?
You can treat these as rhetorical questions, but I'd think you'd have to agree that the "rape exception" is a rather difficult exception to administer.

Yes. I agree a “rape exception” is a difficult exception to administer. However, if that’s what it took to actually eliminate the other 99.9% of abortions, then that’s an exception I’d embrace. We could easily get a political majority to support restrictions on abortion in all but extreme cases, like rape and incest. I would not delay saving the 99.9% in order to save the 0.1%.
