If people who would normally commit these actions would know that they would be executed when they were caught, many of them would simply never do the crime to begin with, its an effective method that works to prevent heinous crime. Naturally it won't stop ALL of them, but it will stop MOST of them. Even then, I think that the unborn child should be let alone, why not let at least one blessing arise from a tragedy? Even if the mother does not want to keep the child, what a greater show of respect it is to life to let such a child live and not let the actions of the rapist father in this case spell his own demise.
No study has been able to prove that the death penalty is an effective deterrant.
And many who would have stopped at raping their victims will then also murder them; because if the penalty for rape is death; murdering your victim is one of the basics of not getting caught. Whenever you put the death penalty on a crime other than murder, murders accompanying that crime go up. Reporting of rape goes down because the victim may not think the death penalty is warranted or is worried they might misidentify the perpetrator with a possibly innocent person's life on the line.
If you don't regard rape as an excuse for abortion, why go on about the 'promiscuity' of the women at all? It seems completely irrelevant to your position if rape isn't an exception.
