Ah, you're from the camp that believes in the theory of John T. Noonan. Noonan believed that in all cases, except for danger towards the mother's life, abortion is immoral and should not be allowed.
I believe that the basis of the "abortion is okay after a rape" belief is that, in all other cases, it is in some part the woman's fault. More importantly, she had, in some way, initiated the sex act and therefore should be prepared to deal with the consequences. In a rape, the woman is an "innocent", and thus should not be held accountable for the actions of another.
