And then the rape thing apparently assumes the fetus was never actually alive yet and won't be until 20 weeks? Yet non-rape fetuses are alive after the heartbeat? But not before...or wait...they are...or...not...Kinda depends, sorta, whether it's fine, or literal enforceable murder...
It is all nonsensical.
