Even so, might there be a discussion of what rape actually is, say, in light of the case against Julian Assange in Sweden? I think so.

And is it justifiable to take the position that all abortion is immoral? Of course. Morals spring from all sorts of random places and the notion that human life is sacred and begins at conception is one of these.

Equally you can hold a moral position that all life is sacred, like the Jains.

Or that life begins at the point of sentience.

That's the difficulty with morals as the foundation of policy. They are founded on the premises you wish them to be. People with different ones are going to conflict.

Setting aside the traditional left versus right arguments, surely there is another reason why a woman cannot conceive as a result of legitimate rape.

Why?

Because there is no such thing as legitimate rape.

"Rape is the commission of unlawful sexual intercourse or unlawful sexual intrusion." http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/rape

That's the definition.

Rape is necessarily illegitimate. A woman may not conceive during an act that does not exist.

Doesn't stop the idiot candidate from being an idiot. His unsympathetic, self-righteous and multipally misinformed justification tells you much of what you need to know about him. But if they exist, which is doubtful, maybe his "doctors" are smarter (in a legalistically pedantic way) than he is.
