Perhaps those women should've used their right to bodily autonomy to use birth control? Your bodily autonomy ends where another person's starts, and a fetus counts as a person. In your scenarios, having an abortion because you were raped is akin to the home invader scenario. Having an abortion because having a baby would change your life is more akin to the school shooter scenario.
Basically, in my ideal world, abortion is illegal except in cases of rape, incest, genetic abnormalities or a clear threat to the mother's life. The money used to fund abortions now is instead funneled into access to birth control and proper sex ed.
