Even for rape, why add to this already terrible crime by killing an innocent baby? Why not have it adopted? The fetus is as innocent as the raped woman. Also, the problem is that if you leave a loophole in the law for rape cases, it will be like the "abortions are okay if the mother's health is at risk". You'll suddenly get a massive climb in pregnant women falsely claiming they were raped, or patsy doctors claiming the mother's health is at risk by giving birth. Sometimes laws have to be tough.
The biological cost to a mother to gestate a two-cell fetus into a full-term baby is enormous. The developing fetus uses her oxygen, blood, energy, muscles, heart, other organs, and hormones as it develops into a person capable of life outside her womb. Some women never fully recover their health and vitality after they give birth. Some women still die in childbirth or of postpartum hemorrhage. A woman should never be forced to gestate and give birth to her rapists' child.
