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 it is more of a wish to spare someone subjected to a traumatizing experience a constant (for 9 months), growing, physical reminder of the experience. A reminder, moreover, that massively fucks up your body (not how the body looks -- it will suck nutrients out of you and expand some organs and squish others, can cause you to have to stay in bed (pretty much immobile) for extended periods of time, can cause you to have diabetes, can suddenly turn out to be life-threatening when it starts to be born).
