So, you don't accept that this Scully would refuse to perform an abortion on a rape victim? She's also portrayed as disapproving of polyamory and strongly against prostitution. Whether I agree with the characterization is another matter, but I think it's internally consistent. From the character's perspective, these practices are all immoral. For many people who believe abortion is murder, there is no exception to be made for rape. She believes that allowing women to trade sexual favors is degrading, for them, and for what's left of humanity. She doesn't want sex to be a commodity, she doesn't want women's value to be reduced to sex and procreation. From what I read in the text, she thinks procreation is immoral because if humanity survives, the alien colonists will return to harvest us again.
