With that mindset, IMO, he does consider rape another form of conception.

In so far as it affects the abortion debate, yes. But he could also consider rape a terrible offense requiring the death penalty or something, so the ‘just’ could be interpreted as problematic.

Anyway, my point was that Hal was pointing out a real problem in the anti-abortion movement; there’s no logical reason, if you’re anti-abortion on supernatural grounds, to have any occasions where you allow abortion.
