so, if your sister or daughter, girlfriend, etc, was raped and that 2% chance of pregnancy materialized, you'd just think, well,shucks. But a life is a life?

You're not getting it. What is the pro-life's side best, and really only argument against abortion? The life of the child as an innocent victim. Rape and incest do not play a part in that. If you grant those exceptions, you've just gutted their best argument.

If they concede this point, they find themselves in the old joke ... we've already established what you are (in this case, pro-Choice rather than a whore). Now we are just negotiating the details ("exactly when does that "most innocent life" CEASE to matter?" vs "price").

One concession, and they are no-longer TRULY "pro-Life."

It's the "best argument" because it's the truth.

When they don’t have rape exceptions, you also gut their biggest argument of “every woman has a choice not to get pregnant in the first place”.

Making someone who was raped carry a baby is effectively saying “some women will be forced to have babies against their will and I am ok with that”
