Here's the difference: I'm not deciding anything. I'm not imposing a choice that conforms to my values on the woman, but allowing
her to make the choice. I'm not saying all rape-conceived children should be aborted, nor that they should all be carried to term. In the absence of compelling evidence about the beginning of human life/consciousness, decisions about a woman's body (for example, whether to allow a forcibly fertilized egg to implant in her uterus) should be left up to the woman.
And this is not a case of abortion, as many have pointed out. The drugs would prevent fertilization. If this is abortion, then all forms of birth control are abortion. Which they're not.
