again tl;dr

Indeed, in a 1987 survey by the Alan Guttmacher Institute in which abortion patients were asked why they were having an abortion, only 1 percent of the 1,900 women questioned named rape or incest. ''The 1 percent number from the 1987 survey is really the best we have on abortions because of rape or incest,'' said Susan Tew, a spokeswoman for the institute.

For those that are struggling with the issues around rape and incest can we at least save the other 99% of aborted children. This issue is so disproportionately represented in the debate it makes me crazy. I would still fight for the remaining 1% because murder is murder, but if your only hold up is children born as a result of rape lets at least ban it in other cases.
