I would hope that those against abortion would agree that rape is an exception. That poses a problem, though. A genuine rape victim, who is too scared to press charges because they fear retribution, would now be forced to present her genitals for examination in order to not go to prison for aborting the child she never asked for. And as we all know, rape is a hard thing to prove. If held at knife point, and forced to not fight back, I imagine the results wouldn't look too different from not-particularly-good but consensual sex.
A quick bit of research suggests possible 14 year sentences in Ireland. Jeez. It seems like it's very easy to come up with lose/lose scenarios if abortion is illegal, with generally much higher stakes than if it is.
Things would be different if we weren't already ridiculously overpopulated to the point where people are starving to death.
