Even so, you are deliberately dismissing rape victims that got pregnant[1], what is their recourse? Or do you just care about the rights of a fetus while it's in utero and then they're on their own as soon as they pop out?

Nothing in your link contradicts the fact that the vast majority of abortions are not terminating rape-related pregnancies.

To have the legally available and free abortion that is offered within the first 90 days of their rape?

I linked to a study exploring the numbers in the US states where abortion was banned, not referring to Italy here. My response was to the "rape victim red herring" which i find incredibly distasteful.
