And I'd charge the apprehended rapist with a count of at least 2nd degree homicide - since the death came out of his violent act toward the female and her resulting pregnancy.
There is still a life being taken. The issue is who's responsible.
Now, you can clearly see that my attempt at a hypothetical solution to your hypothetical (but plausible) crime does not mean that we would extend permission to get an abortion to anyone who, after getting pregnant, just doesn't want to have a baby. 99% of all abortions would be eliminated.

What about the cases where the 13 year old is raped by a family member? They don't report it because of fear, or embarrassment.
Obviously another hypothetical, but I'll never understand why men care so much about what women do with their bodies. Sure, when women use abortion as birth control it's a problem, but that's a very small % of the time. This is just more of the right wanting to control things.
We have enough kids running around with parents, who just aren't capable of, or just don't want to be parents.
