"Even Bill Clinton declared that abortion should be "safe, legal, and rare"" Unfortunately, abortions are not rare. What is rare is rape as a reason for abortion. 0.3% according to this study. johnstonsarchive.net

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." I don't see much of a distinction between the two terms, life and fetus. You seem to give them a faux distinction that leads to a different weighting. A fetus is life; however not all life is a fetus..........its not any more complicated than that.
