Ted,
I just answered your question. It doesn't. That's the secondary issue. The important issue is what the woman wants. Everything else falls from that.
I think you hit upon the key point that I was going to bring up in my response.

The truth is that we're letting the mother decide whether the unborn child is a life. If she wants to keep the child, she'll refer to it as "her baby." If she wants to kill it, she'll refer to it as a "fetus."

That decision, of course, is guided by a lot of factors. No one, not even the pro-choice crowd, wants to let that decision be taken lightly. Even Bill Clinton declared that abortion should be "safe, legal, and rare" (before doing everything in his power to make it safe and legal).

Rape, along with other tragic circumstances such as incest, of course makes the decision a heavy one. But remember that the mother gets to decide whether the unborn child is a "life" or a "fetus."

That is how rape factors into the question. It affects the very person whom we've given power to decide whether her unborn child is a "life."
