Rape is a red herring. Women receive drugs at the hospital to prevent pregnancy when they are treated for rape. Well, then, why do women really have abortions?
75% say having a baby would interfere with work, school, or other responsibilities.
66% (about) say they cannot afford to have another child.
50% say they do not want to be a single parent, or have relationship problems with husband or partner.
Less than 2% have abortions because they became pregnant as a result of rape or incest.

Overwhelmingly, abortions are performed for convenience.
I just wanted to point out, though that the so-called "morning after" pill, and other drugs the liberals tout to "prevent" pregnancy RARELY prevent conception, which usually occurs within 6 hours of sex if there is an egg waiting. These pills almost always prevent the fertilized egg from implanting in the uterus, causing an early abortion because the baby has no nourishment to grow. If taken soon enough, the pill CAN prevent conception because these pills also harden an unfertilized egg to prevent fertilization.
