1. Do you support, or oppose a rape exception to any scheme of law outlawing abortion.

In the case of rape, the child is an innocent victim

2. Would you have forced the raped 9 year old in Nicaragua (discussed on several threads) to bear a child.

Red herring. The child assumes too much risk to birth a child.

3. Do you require absolute, beyond all reasonable doubt proof that a pregnancy to term will kill a mother before you will allow an abortion.

Nonsense. The doctor decides that ahead of time in all cases.

4. Do you oppose giving a rape victim a D&C, or abortifacient drugs like a morning after pill immediately after a rape, on the basis that a human soul may have been created?

Since we don't know whether a baby is present, it's not the same as abortion. Of course, the pill should be legal. People have been taking them since the 70's.

Then why would anyone want to kill it?

So, if we burn down a building without knowing that whether or not anyone is inside, have we not committed murder as well as arson?
