Setting aside specious pro-choice scenarios, medical exceptions make sense as a principle. I don't know why abortion would be the only solution as opposed to C-section, but whatever.
Rape exceptions seem more murky though. If you believe in personhood from conception then you probably oppose those exceptions, but who knows.
Rape abortion is indeed more murky - about as murky as downs syndrome/other defect abortions.
...But most men don't want to spend their life looking after deformed/retarded kids, nor do they want their wife or daughter forced to birth her rapist's son.
Of course, there is the possibility that these people will say to themselves 'Well, if someone in MY family wants an abortion, we'll just fly to california.' Which, in all honesty, is a valid point of view.
Ultimately, as long as women are given another reason to think twice about spreading their legs for random men on tinder, the desired effect is achieved.

Rape exceptions are a huge mistake, because women wouldn't think twice about destroying an innocent man just to get their baby murder.

The infant is a victim of the rape, not the perpetrator. Why would I endorse punishing the son for the sins of the father?
