In further answer to the \\\"Why is rape the exception?\\\" comment above, there\\\'s also an ugly undercurrent of misogynistic \\\"slut-shaming\\\" that goes into the attitude of a lot of people in the pro-life movement toward women seeking abortions. The thinking goes that since [[MyGirlIsNotASlut being a sexually active woman is already shameful]], if that woman is stupid / careless enough to get pregnant (because [[DoubleStandard contraception is always the woman\\\'s problem]]), she should \\\"suffer the consequences of her actions\\\" and have the baby. Because [[FlatWhat getting an abortion is the too-easy, painless solution]].

Rape and incest get cited as acceptable exceptions to abortion because it\\\'s not the woman\\\'s \\\"fault\\\" in these cases, so she shouldn\\\'t be \\\"punished\\\" with the lasting real-life consequences of carrying a fetus to term, since [[SarcasmMode she\\\'s not a dirty slut who deserves to be punished.]] For example, [[http://www.smartbitchestrashybooks.com/index.php/weblog/bill_napoli_is_spelled_a_s_s_h_a_t/ the origin]] of the neologized verb [[http://www.smartbitchestrashybooks.com/billnapoli/ napoli]].
