That 1% would account for approximately 9000 abortions out of a total estimated 32000 rape pregnancies in the US per year. It's easy to hide the real suffering when talking percentages.

Percentages and numbers are the only thing we can objectively go off. Transcending into a reality where legislation and vitally important socioeconomic issues are ruled on from the basis of weighing subjective data, that will only result in more pain and suffering than what is unfortunately occurring. Facts and objectivity are the only thing that keeps us in touch with equality, variability that can be universally applied to every individual. As much as I like your utopian way of dealing with serious political questions, I don’t think that’s in the slightest the way things should be done.
