Difference is 5 year old has philosophical existence. A name, a voice, 5 years of memories and proofs of existence. It's like comparing killing a cow for meat and killing someone's dog. Sure, a vegan libtard would say it's the same, but the cow is just meat whereas that dog is someone's loyal companion.
As for rape, you punish the rapist, and save the mother from that trauma. Obviously if a woman doesn't even think to abort the product of a rape, good on her. However, not everyone is the same, and it's not fair for someone who was raped to face an 18 hear responsibility over it.
The answer for that mother would be not killing the child, if 5 years later that child is a trigger of grief and trauma, adopting the child out to a loving family, not the foster system, would be the best choice.
The questions are only hard if you absolutely believe fetus is a full human. We're the only species to police reproduction. We have myriads of religious texts from multiple religions and very few actually condemn abortion explicitly.
The product of a rape being the absolute will of God? I don't buy it. Lots of this strikes me as very privileged people speaking from self righteousness.
