Besides why can't we laugh at rape, we can certainly laugh at abortion jokes right?

There's a difference between offending someone and triggering someone. 1 in 3 women in Canada are victims of sexual assault. That means that there are women in everyone's life that this actually seriously affects. Being raped is highly traumatizing to the point that it can cause PTSD. A joke making fun of someone's accent is probably going to offend a lot of people, but it's much less likely than a rape joke to actually emotionally harm them.
