2. Confront an anti-abortion person with that

and you get:

"It's not about the sex! I love sex! But she should have just kept her legs closed if she didn't want a baby."

"It's still a baby after a rape, but I just can't justify inflicting more emotional damage on a rape victim. NORMAL pregnancy doesn't inflict any kind of damage on NORMAL women- NORMAL women all want babies! These women will all love their babies once they're born, you'll see! That's what NORMAL women DO!" (this argument extends to physical damage too- higher risk of death and nearly 50% risk of serious damage from term pregnancy? NORMAL women WELCOME the idea of risking their life and health! That's what NORMAL women DO!)

"How would we enforce it? Ummmm... I'm late for an appointment, gotta run!"
