Curious, but would you RATHER I be on the "no abortions, no exceptions" side?
I figured with the debate centering around "choice", the different contexts and morals of consensual sex vs rape would be fairly clear. A woman consenting to sex made a deliberate choice, acknowledging all associated risks, including a possible pregnancy. In rape, choice, the ability to consent and accept the consequences and responsibility are thrown out entirely. The woman is forced into the situation, it's the reason we punish men who rape women. And I side with having empathy in the exception where an unwilling victim was forced into a situation they couldn't control. Similar situation if giving birth is determined to be life threatening for the mother, I consider the mother's life a higher priority in that case. It's not that I don't still view abortion as horrid regardless, i simply try for a more nuanced position on the matter than the no-exceptions hard yes or hard no. Not sure if I could explain my reasoning any better.
There's not any analog to this situation either. I had several other analogies I considered bringing up, but none really factor in the termination of a developing human and so aren't exactly fair to compare.
Incidentally, an interesting aspect about the debate on abortion was reading up on Norma McCorvey, AKA Jane Roe from the Roe vs Wade case that changed US abortion laws. Norma McCorvey became pregnant as a teen in what she then claimed was rape. She filed a lawsuit to try to obtain an abortion. What is interesting is how the lawsuit ended up diverting course away from her and her wishes. She apparently didn't have much involvement in the courtrooms even early on (I don't even know if she ever appeared) and she became upset with her lawyers and felt they were lying to her. Norma eventually gave birth during the proceedings and changed her mind about abortion entirely. Her lawyers proceeded with the case however and continued to use her given pseudonym to promote the legalization of abortion. In the 1980s, McCorvey ended up confessing that she had lied about the rape (though I don't think she or her legal team received any punishment for lying to the courts) and she became an outspoken voice for the pro-life argument. I'm not personally interested in using her as an example against abortion (I fundamentally disagree with her on some key aspects). But the details of her life behind the scenes are still very interesting. Especially her legal team and many others pushing her "Jane Roe" identity as the mascot for the movement icon. And continuing to do so decades after she changed sides.
