Giving birth is extremely traumatic, even if you want the child. Having to have the child of rape is very cruel torment, that nobody should have to endure. Abortion is only traumatic because religious zealots make women feel guilty for doing the most responsible action. Abortion is relief from trauma!

A woman who is inebriated, by drugs or alcohol, cannot give consent. Thus any sex had with her is rape. So, any regrets the woman has are due to her being raped, the male's bad act, not her own.

That's false. No developed countries have such strict limits without exceptions for physical and mental health of the mother. All a woman has to do is say is her mental health is negatively impacted, and she gets an abortion. Also, there is usually leeway for a teenaged pregnancy, even in stricter countries.

No woman is going to endure six or seven months of pregnancy, and all the pain and exhaustion that entails, to decide at the last minute she doesn't want the kid. Any last minute abortion is needed to save the only host's life, or because the parasite they are carrying will never live long, or ever be normal.

@PabloTheThinker Physicians can come up with rough estimates, based upon fetal femur length, but that is often off by a month or two. With my first daughter, I knew exactly when my last period was. but because my daughter is a short person, my OB told me I had to be off by a month. When she was born, it was obvious that I'd been correct, and carried her for 10 months, not 9. Doctors can be very wrong,

@stephendavidbailey2743 But, there wasn't a sharp drop in crime 18 years after getting rid of leaded gas. And there was a very sharp drop 18 after Roe v Wade. There was a rise in literacy after getting lead out of paint, much more than caused by unleaded gas, but no drop in crime.

It would be better if no child of rape is ever born.

@denillefleming2942 Of course any humane state allows abortion when the host's life is at risk, only immoral states dominated by christian dogma wouldn't.
