This is an illogical view. Rape is a horrible thing, but a baby is still a human life - that is an immutable fact. That baby is a unique soul, never to be recreated. He/she has inalienable rights - including to life. To say that the circumstance of conception changes the definition of what human life is - that is a dangerous and slippery slope. A baby is wanted, therefor deserves life, a baby is not wanted, the baby is a clump of cells. Illogical. If rape is a reason, then any reason to not want a baby is also sufficient. Are you the thought police here to read the minds Of women and determine if their reason is worthy?
As for the life of the mother, there are very few instances where a mother’s health is in jeopardy where a baby is not viable. There are in fact zero reasons to abort in the third trimester - zero. The third trimester, induced delivery is possible in all circumstances. So while in principle, I agree on this carve out, it should be well understood that this should be an exceedingly rare occurrence.
You are jumping in as though what SCOTUS included in their ruling in Roe v Wade had already happened: that personhood was defined. It never has been. They wrote that this was THE way to undermine their ruling.

No one has ever tried.
No, not the thought police..... that was merely my opinion. Thanks for your input though.
