Well, you answered the second question. Not with evidence, but plausibly nonetheless.
I'm not seeing, however, how any such case couldn't be dealt with through therapy. And if therapy doesn't work, why would you expect an abortion to work? You're talking about a measure which ends the life of a human being. You need a damn good justification. It needs to be necessary.

i've seen a whole lot of the writing on the opposition to a rape exception...and the only way they get the rhetoric there is by completely eliding the woman in the discussion. Such blindness comes at a price...

Yeah, you still don't have any basis for asserting this.
