I've yet to figure out why incest is brought up in the same sentence as rape. In one case, the woman was forced. In the other, she chose freely. Don't get me wrong - incest is gross, but if she can abort in any incest case, she should be able to abort under any free choice sex situation.
What they're going for is the increased odds for medical issues for the baby created during incest. Then why not say "rape or if the baby is diagnosed with severe deformities?" That covers the non-incest case, which pro-choice folks are also going for.
I guess it's really what you mentioned. Bad faith.
