If a women is impregnated by a rapist, should she give into abortion or not?

I think it is that woman's business an no one's place to tell her what to do with her own body and mind.

I won't go through all those pain in life for a baby that does not have a father or whose father i have never loved. I will surely abort it no matter what the situation will be, i cannot bear those pain my whole life. No matter what other people say like you are killing a living being, innocent and you will get the curse. What ever i' ll try not to get raped

I have often asked myself this question and battled with the answer. As a practicing Christian it is difficult to know since God loves that baby too and it isn't the babies fault, but it is very difficult for the mother. I was 8 when I was raped so I couldn't get pregnant. I think it depends a lot on the mothers strength also part of me wonders if God would abort the baby but then it is His child and He loves that baby so He would not. The mother would be forgiven by God that much is sure because God forgives us, but it would still be a sin. It is very difficult. I think it all depends on the strength of the mother. As a Christian I don't know if I could carry on with the birth of a baby I did not want or love, but then I don't think I could kill it either. However I don't think that taking the morning after pill is a sin I think it is birth protection so there is always that choice.

abortion is murder no matter what situation what did the baby do if you really can not keep the baby put the baby up for adoption if it was me i believe a baby is a blessing and i would have the baby and keep him/her abortion is abortion the situation does not change that it is murder yes it makes things very hard but as long as you see the baby as part of you and a blessing and look to God to for assistance all would be fine

I agree with visitorinvasion on this topic, its no ones business but the womans! People just need to mind there own business about this topic.

If it were me, I would have to have an abortion as I dont believe i could love the baby knowing it was made in hate and pain. I admire anyone who could keep it and love it, and although its not the baby's fault, it still must be very hard to accept. Or maybe Im just not forgiving enough......

I would want an abortion. I dont know if I COULD HANDLE TRYING TO CARRY A CHILD UNDER THOSE CIRCUMSTANCES... and I think that you would be so upset that it would endanger the baby as well as the mother too.

I think if this is really happened, the woman should give into abortion for sure . when a woman want to have a child, she want to have one who is from the love and the baby will be a angel of the family . but if the baby from crime, it should not born and even if it come to this world, his mother could not love him and he will bring a bad memory to his mother. so abortion is the best way to settle this problem.

Fist of all, really good discussion you started :) Wow and this is a tough one, I have discussed this many times with friends. I don't agree with abortion but in this situation I am not so sure. I think for people who could not bare the fact to raise this child because of what the baby came from then I think that maybe giving the baby up for an adoption would be a good idea. If it was me I think I would keep the baby, well I am really not sure, I would hope to never have something like that happen to me so I think until you are actually in the situation you really wouldn't know what you would do, that's why this is so tough. As of now though I think that I would keep the baby because it is not the childs fault and that child deserves to be born, breath, have a life and be loved. What it comes down to is what that person decides to do and I think that people should support her either way considering the situation. Too many people would judge her but never knowing what she is going through and how she feels. People like that only make that poor girls situation even worse,going through a rape, being pregnant by his baby and then having to deal with the judgments of other people. Very tough situation.

I honestly don't know what I would do. I certainly wouldn't think badly of someone for getting an abortion in this situation. This is a very hard question. Maybe it would depend on the situation and how the woman dealt with the rape, if she is able to put it behind her or is it something that is always going to haunt her. Is she married and how is it going to effect her husband and other children. It is very sad that this kind of thing happens.

WEll, i guess i would have gone for an abortion... I know life is precious.. But i dun wanna be unfair to the baby as well... I dun even noe who is the person who impregnant me... More over, theres no love, how can i face the child in future... I dunno... Plus, how am i going to explain why the child has got no father... Its really saddening...

Well, I'm guessing your against abortion right? The way you worded the subject and question seems to imply you're against it. Like "giving into abortion" as though it's wrong.....or "there's no reason to kill this baby." I think above all else that a woman has the right to do with her body as she pleases. It's her choice if she wants to get an abortion or not. I don't think it would be "giving in" or that she would be killing a baby. I don't think an early fetus can be qualified as a person until it is capable of living on its own and that doesn't happen till about the third trimester. Until that happens it is still a part of the woman's body and its her decision how she handles it.

absolute should not have the baby .first when the baby is born .she or he don,t have a father .then can,t get the love of father .secondly when then child knew about it ,it wil be a shame and not dignity to him or her .third when you have been having the baby.shou will in the impreesion of being shame

I think the women should have a choice.I decided to keep my baby.It doesn't matter how the child got here just as long as it's here.

That case would be totally the females decision. The rapist could carry bad genes and be passing them on, also psychologically devastating for the female, she may resent the child, therefore the child may lead a miserable life. All in all it would be her decision and whatever she decided would be the right choice in that case.

If it were me i would have the baby simply because it is a life and it is your son or daughter no matter how he or she got there. I know sometimes you will look at this child and see the face of your attacker but, that child is NOT that person and eventually i think you would come to forget the bad things about that child and know that you have bought up a beautiful and loving child in a loveing family.

Abortion is not the answer if the girl consider that as a problem because doing such a thing is like taking away the right of the baby to live. Its not the baby's fault that he/she was a result of a rape or unwanted pregnancy. Doing such a thing is like killing a human. Take it for instance that you are in the shoes of the baby, how would you feel if you know that you will be denied of your right to live because you are not part of the plan. I know it will be hard for the girl to see the baby when he/she grows up, its like reminding the girl of what happend but, we cant do anything about it and abortion is not the answer.

The baby is innocent. Why take innocent life? I have gone through rape and became pregnant. I choose to give birth and I know I have a great son. Yes I view the child as a gift from God and I am very happy with my decision.

I believe she should have the right to abort if she so wishes, she didn't ask for this so why should she suffer the consequences of someone else's actions. although I don't believe in abortions been preformed the way they are I do think there are valid cases where abortions are acceptable.

Honetly, I think God has control of who can get pregnant and when and what happens when it does happen. Honestly, with that being said I think that the person should realize first and foremost that it is a human being growing inside of her. It just doesn't appear out of nowhere and be born. I think that they need to realize the importance that that person maybe able to offer to this world and that there experience may change the worlds view on this subject. I don't believe in abortion that abortion should even be an option. I agree with it, but I don't like it. a woman should have her right to choose. Doesn't give me the right to judge her, but my own opinion is that abortion is just not an option.
