You don't think pregnancies are endangering? A pregnancy is dangerous to not only the physical aspects of a person's life but to many other aspects as well.Right.Something that might get traction but do not know if the thread was supposed to bring this about:
I agree that there would be exceptions and that would be constitutional BUT I do not think that if abortion were banned under the guise of murder that you could put an exception in for the case of rape or incest.
The 2 ideas are morally (and really legally) counter to each other. If killing an unborn at X time is murder, that does not suddenly change because the child was not a product of a willing mother.
Self defense if the life of the mother of other fetuses is in danger. That's the only one I can come up with ATM.
But the question is whether it falls under an act of 'self defense' in a case where the woman was raped and the pregnancy is forced upon her in a criminal act.
Our right to self defense is not limited to only defending ourselves against an armed crazy masked intruder. . . Is it?

Self defense is when your life is in danger, not when you are under unfair stress.
If someone assumes those risks consensually? That's one thing. But to have all those risks forced on you in a criminal act? That's another.
