No one argues that abortions aren't warranted in those situations.

This unfortunately is not true at all. Many people consider abortion murder. From that perspective, rape and incest have no bearing on the situation. Abortion to save the life of the mother might be acceptable, since self defense is about the only justification for homicide, but I'm sure there are extremists who would say not even then. Women have already been prosecuted for miscarriage too, incidentally, and I expect that to increase.

That is so obviously propaganda. Do you seriously not understand that they called it a miscarraige when it was in fact an abortion?

See? That's the kind of attitude I'm worried about. Miscarriages happen, shockingly often actually, people just don't like to talk about it. If in even 1% of cases people look at the circumstances say "obviously an abortion" that's a huge risk for injustice.

Obviously misscairages happen, but the law does not allow the government to arbitrarily claim it was malicious. They obviously had proof that this was not a legitimate misscairage.

I wish the government were as reasonable as you think it is. Don't trust it much myself.

There is no money to be made in this.
