Question to self described "pro-life" posters

[nclib]

Not "pro-life" but wanted to give my perspectives on the exceptions. Yes, health and life of the mother should be separated from rape/incest and rape and incest should be separated.

The exception for rape is relevant even if one takes the perspective of abortion being wrong and being a violation of the right-to-life of the fetus. One could argue that by agreeing to having sex, the woman implicitly consents to having the fetus use her body. In the case of rape, it is self-defense.

If we're saying that self-defense isn't applicable because the fetus didn't choose to be there. Someone throws a child off a balcony. The child would land on you and you move away and the child gets more severely injured. You would not have to use your body. Just like if someone needs an organ donation to live and the one potential donor says no it would be very frowned upon but it wouldn't be illegal or accused of murder.
