If an 11 year old is raped...?

Question

and got pregnant, should she keep the baby?

If you were her parent would you influence in her decision?

*Hypothetically question*

Answer 1

i would make the decision for her, she cant cope with a baby yet and her body is still developing. she has the whole of her life ahead and i wouldn't have thought that an 11 year old could handle the responsibility. do what is best for her, shes got the rest of her life ahead and she needs to be a kid herself. best of luck.

Answer 2

yes she should keep a baby...... and as a parent he/she must insist to live up the baby.... sort of abortion is a way of killing......

Answer 3

well. In all reality, is she was raped if she was taken to the hospital right after the incidence, she would have been given a rape kit exam which includes the morning after pill.  I feel the first thing as a parent I would do, is find out who hurt my daughter before I worried about her pregnancy!  

Answer 4

honestly, no i don't think she should keep the baby and i, as the parent, would make the decision because an 11 year old isn't even mature enough to decide. i don't think at 11, your body is even strong enough to handle all the changes that take place during pregnancy. she's not even done growing herself. and it's not fair to make an 11 year who was traumatized by a rape keep a child as a constant reminder of her trauma and it's not fair to the child to be born to a mother who cannot care for it.

Answer 5

It would be a miracle that an 11 year old body wouldn't miscarry.

However, if she did get pregnant because she was raped, we would not keep the baby.  It would be the best thing for her and the baby.

Answer 6

If she was 11 and raped, I wouldn't influence her decision, I would MAKE her decision.   She is a baby.  As a parent its up to you to Make the choice for her.  Honestly at 11 and raped, is there more then one option.?

Answer 7

I'd see what she wanted to do, however, i would definately reccomend an abortion.

Answer 8

I doubt she can get pregnant at 11, and as much as I'd hate it yes I would influence her decision, her body is in NO WAY ready to handle childbirth and pregnancy, they both could die!

It's Waaaaay to Early in the Morning for this question! (California Time: 0539)
