For all Mommies I have a question for you. ?

Question

This is for all the ladies that say abortion is murder. I agree. But i have been doing some thinking and one question that comes to my mind is. what if my daughter was raped. Would I force her to have the baby? Could I put her through that. I'm talking at a young age. What are your thoughts. Please don't be rude. I was just reading a question earlier and it got me thinking. I am not trying to start a debate just want to hear what other mommies think.

Answer 1

Those of you who say it is only ok to have an abortion if the pregnancy was a result of rape.. How is that the baby's fault? If abortion is murder and it is so wrong to take a life that just wanted a chance.. whats the difference? I know the difference to the person who is pregnant but what about the baby? Just wondering. If it is so wrong under any other circumstances then having an abortion because of rape could be considered selfish.

I am pro-choice so this is more of a curiosity thing. I expect a few thumbs down for this one!

Nothing is ever just black or white. You have to love that grey area!!

Answer 2

I am defiantly pro life... but when it comes to Rape I just don't know what I would do. One side of me knows that I couldn't live with aborting a child, and at the same time I know that it would be horrible to have a daily reminder of such a traumatic event. I truly don't think I could carry a child for an entire pregnancy and then be able to part with it. I think when it came right down to it, that child is still part of me and mine and I wouldn't be able to abort. But these kinds of decisions are very personal and need to be made on an individual level. I am pro life for me, and pro choice for everyone else. I just know I couldnt do it...

Answer 3

I would never make my daughter have a baby if she was raped. Depending on her age-I would give her the choice.

Answer 4

*IF* this situation were to ever arise (and I have no daughters at the moment), I think that knowing that she ended an innocent life could torture my daughter more than the "trauma" of carrying a baby to term.

Two wrongs don't make a right.

Answer 5

I would let her have the abortion! If that is what she wanted.

Answer 6

Aside from my beliefs, I would have to let her make that choice.

Answer 7

No I wouldnt want my daughter to have to go through the emotional trauma of carrying, giving birth to and either keeping or giving away the baby that was forced upon her by a violent man committing a crime. Obviously....

If I was raped I would take the morning after pill, if a pregnancy still resulted I would not go through with it, why should I have to? I did not choose to have s*x with that man and having a baby from rape would be bad not only for me but for my partner as well and I don't want to inflict such a thing on my family

Answer 8

forced rape I understand, any other reasons I can't bear to fathom. Theres a reason for adoption.  

Answer 9

Its a hard question that would definitely make you question/consider changing your beliefs. It is one thing to say that rape isn't justification for murder but if my daughter was crying that she didn't want to have the baby after beig raped, we would have to have a talk and if she still insisted I can't say I would fight her on it. She is my little princess and I would do anything for her, even change my beliefs!?

Answer 10

I don't approve of abortion at all ... but I guess if it were a rape situation ... the morning after pill should've been used immediately after ... and if not, I still don't know if I could abort that innocent baby ... there are many people in this world that cannot have children, and would adopt the child!!!

Answer 11

I cannot force anyone to do anything. But I would hope that my daughter would believe that every child deserves a right to life and would choose to bring that life into the world. I would hope that she would understand that it is not the baby's fault for the horrible circumstances in which he/she was conceived.

Answer 12

That is exactly why I am glad they came out with the morning after pill!

Answer 13

well, if that were the case, i wouldn't force my daughter to do anything. i'm against abortion, but i'd have to let her handle that decision on her own. a daughter could end up hating or resenting her mother forever in that situation.  i would tell her adoption is an option, but th choice would be hers. if it were me, i'd keep the babay because i just wouldn't be able to bear putting it up for adoption and abortion is just not an option for me. that's a really good question though.  

Answer 14

Ya i have thought of this many a times. I dont agree with it either, but if someone else decides to do this its their desicion.  

Answer 15

I was had my first child at the age of 15(I was raped), my dad (who lived 1500 miles away and was hardly in my life) wanted me to get an abortion, and my mom left the decision up to me.  I felt personally that I wouldn't be able to have an abortion because it would be killing something that was a part of me (even if it was a part of him too) I just couldn't do that so I thought about adoption. I ended up keeping my beautiful daughter, but as a parent I think I would do the same thing as what my mother did with me, and talk to her about all the options she has.  and let her decided what is going to be right for her, and if she chooses to keep her child I will be right there to help her just like my mother did for me.  and if she chooses adoption or even an abortion I will support her with either decision because I know how hard it is.  I just hope that I am raising my kids to know how to be safe and that its always best to wait to have children because there's still so much for them to do at that young age.  

Answer 16

i totally agree with snowange

but you dont really know what you would do until your IN that situation scary i know

Answer 17

The morning after pill seems to be the best answer, but if that did not solve the problem I would set my daughter up to see a psychologist.  The psychologist could help her understand the weight of any decision and help her be able to make the right choice for her.  Plus it would help her deal with all the issues that arise when it comes to being a victim of rape.

Answer 18

I am pro-life, with the exception of a child conceived by rape or incest.  I agree that  especially if the mother is very young that it would be more traumatic for them to carry, deliver, and have to make the adoption choice.  

That's a touchy subject with a lot of people...good luck!

Answer 19

Isn't it all part of "God's Plan?"  You people believe that God plans every thing in your life so if this is the case then it's ok because it's part of His magical plan.
