100%. In fact, I'm quite sure that if laws would be written like what I've proposed, we'd suddenly see an exponential rise in claims of rape in America. Obviously there would have to be some level of scrutiny imposed.
I still would not agree with abortions in this instance, but more rapes actually being reported so they can be investigated and we can put rapists behind bars would be good. Of course, this would also result in a sharp increase in false rape claims, which seem to be the only kinds of rape claims I ever hear about anymore, so I would hope we'd actually start prosecuting those liars.

I completely get it, and given my thoughts on this are due to my belief that human life starts at conception (when else would it?) I understand that I'm drawing an exception where there ought not be one if the goal is to protect THAT human.
And yet, I can't be in favor of forcing a woman to carry to term a baby she's only carrying because someone violently raped her. I understand that this was not the baby's fault, but to force her to go through that for the rest of her life (because giving birth and then giving it up for adoption would never be the end of that situation obviously) rings of the way they'd handle this in a theocracy like under the Taliban.
I try and put myself in two places when imagining this. First, as the husband to my wife and imagine her having to go through this. It would be impossible. I also imagine what it would be like growing up and finding out that you only exist because your "father" raped your birth mother and she was forced to have you? Obviously you'd want to be alive, but what would that knowledge do to you knowing how you were conceived and what your existence meant to the person that carried you to term? I can't imagine being in either scenario.

Women who make false rape accusations should face the same prison time that a man would get if he was actually convicted of what the woman is accusing him of. That's the only way to stop these fake rape claims.
