Immediate use of the morning after pill after a rape would shut down the cry about rape exceptions.

There would be no reason for an abortion for a rape victim.

This goes beyond the MAP pill, though. This pill can cause an abortion up to five to seven weeks.

It seems your reasoning agrees with the Catholic understanding - you can take an abortion pill as long as it immediately after rape as conception would not have occurred. I am Catholic and although this is theoretically sound, it is likely poor in practice.

It would also increase the likelihood of getting a criminal conviction.

It would have to be immediate reporting, within 24 hours. Otherwise, it's just more excuses to murder the preborn.

Do I personally approve? No. But realistically, a 24 hour window to report rape would make ending abortion more likely to occur.

I’ve wondered that same thing myself many times. One can surely obtain the morning-after pill after non-consensual sex. They don’t even have to admit that they were raped, which I understand is physically and emotionally traumatic.

I guess I have never understood how somebody gets raped and still gets pregnant in the era of modern morning-after pills. Unless you’re a prisoner of Ariel Castro or something.
