There's more than enough to accomplish justice here without an unnecessary sideshow and an emotional abortion debate which could really make it hard to pick a fair jury.

The question on whether to use them may depend on whether they want this guy put to death or not. I'm not sure they can without bringing in the Murder/Forced Miscarriages/etc charge...
I almost wonder whether the rape charges can stick as well, it isn't like the cops will be able to present the standard evidence from a rape kit and after all of these years, I wonder whether any of the women will be able to say that "I was raped on March 22nd, 24th and 25th, 2008".
