What do you mean? In the eyes of the law, all reasons for abortion are acceptable. No one is arguing that abortion should only be permissible in certain extreme (and let's face it, rare) cases. The argument is whether unborn children/fetuses deserve any rights. According to the law, prior to a certain stage of development, they do not. That's it. So, if you agree with current abortion laws, then a pregnant woman aborting an unborn child/fetus that was conceived by rape is no more or less valid than a woman aborting an unborn child/fetus because she doesn't like its gender or no more or less valid than a woman choosing to smoke and drink while she is pregnant. It's her body, therefore, it is her choice.
