Banning abortions unless we’re raped is saying we don’t earn autonomy over our own bodies until a man violates it.
Also important to note that it’s extremely hard to prove rape. Victims are accused of lying and that will become more common if the only way to get an abortion is if you’re raped. Also it takes time to prove rape. Time isn’t something someone who wants an abortion has a lot of.
Does the victim have to wait for the rapist to be convicted of rape to have the abortion? Charged with rape? What if the rapist is a stranger? What if he’s never found? So the rape exception isn’t really an exception at all.
Also important point people have been mentioning is that there are states that ALLOW YOUR RAPIST TO HAVE VISITATION RIGHTS WITH YOUR BABY YOU WERE FORCED TO HAVE.
