As with the politician, above, there is some weird world she wants to live in where she is a rape victim, but he is not a rapist. Both provide a sense of belong, and, in this case, I think an excuse. Because most women feel terribly about abortion and would not want to get another one. This is her judging herself, I think, finding herself wanting and then constructing some facts that are, at best, extremely convenient to hear her tell them.
