TW: rape
The FBI defines rape as, "penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the consent of the victim." Direct force isn't the only way to not having consent. Things like coercion, pressure, and not having informed consent means that you do not have consent. While the abortion pills are now a majority of abortions, because of the fact that the FDA only approves them through 10 weeks gestation (70 days or less since the last menstrual period), surgical abortion will always remain a big chunk of abortions. Surgical abortion includes inserting objects such as sopher clamp forceps, suction catheters, curettes, speculums, dilators, laminaria, and needles with digoxin into the vagina.
To have informed consent, everyone who receives an abortion has to be properly taught about embryology which is the form of science relating to embryonic and fetal development (including that we are distinct living human beings at fertilization, and that we have various body parts and functions before abortions happen, specifically the body parts and functions that their child as at their particular age), the various other options that exist (including safe haven laws, kinship care and guardianship care, open adoption, closed adoption, semi-open adoption, WIC, food banks, mutual aid organizations etc.) the various side effects both physical (perforated uterus, sepsis, bleeding out, death etc.) and mental (depression, suicide, PTSD, grief, eating disorders, addiction, anxiety etc.), and any pregnant people the clinic or doctor has harmed or killed in the past.
Because no clinic or doctor is willing to provide all of this info to someone seeking an abortion, that means all abortions are coerced abortions. It is safe to assume that no one would be willing to have an abortion if they had all of this info, but consent is gotten beforehand, not after the fact, so even if someone still would have gone through with it if they had known, it still wasn't consensual because they weren't given that info. The abortion industry relies on lying to the public by telling them that abortion is the removal of a clump of cells, is safe, and you have no other options unless you want to suffer with being a parent with no help. Because all abortions are coerced abortions, they are non-consensual, and because surgical abortions include the insertion of various objects into the vagina which would not happen if the pregnant person were to be given all of the info above, surgical abortions are therefore rape.
