I fail to see where you are giving any weight at all to the mother's interests. It sounds like you think abortion is OK only if the fetus is entirely oblivious to whatever it experiences. It's not really "balancing" if one side of the scale has nothing on it. It is analytically, simply, I grant you, but only at the cost of ignoring half of a difficult moral equation.

Answer me this? Why do most people agree there should be a rape/incent exception? Could it be that there is a "no fault" element to their rationale?

I think most people are of more than one mind about abortion. A majority is uncomfortable with the idea of forcing a woman who has been raped to have an abortion.
Most people probably don't agree with your view of property rights. You should not lose your right to expel strangers from your apartment simply because they generally think that have a right to come and visit.
