After all a conviction would take a while, much too long for the woman to still be able to get an abortion afterwards. Now if they wanted to be really ridiculous and require a police report, easily done, after all a woman can say that she didn't know who raped her. Of course if it was ever found out to be not true then that woman would get in trouble, but I don't see it being found out.

I see what you're saying, but I can also disagree. If abortions were made illegal and only allowed women who were raped to have abortions, then I'm sure that they could create some kind of court system that dealt with rapes specifically (like some, or most...not sure, colleges have a court system if you plagiarize or something like that). I'm sure things are subject to change and can make it to where the legal system can work like that.
