And don't kid yourself, your son might just want to hide the fact that he wants to rape a girl he knows from you so badly because of his religious upbringing, that he goes to one of these unaccredited, un-monitored, unsanctioned dark alleys, and is shot by the girl while attempting to rape her and bleeds out to death on the alley pavement. Would it not be better for him to have gone to an environment where he can rape women safely and without the risk of being shot?”
Your argument fails because rape is something done to a consciously self-aware person.
Abortion happens to a biological human fetus that has had no higher brain functions and never has so therefore has not attained personhood.
Is it human? Yep. Is there a person there yet? Nope.
Second. Being denied the right to rape doesn't harm the would be rapist. Denying safe abortions to women kills and maims women.
