If you were raped. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ?

Question

And this caused you to lose your virginity and get pregnant, would you abort the baby? Why or why not?

Answer 1

My Brother is a product of Rape. Had my mom aborted him I would have had no siblings to love or to love me. I didn't know this until I was 18 and I didn't ever notice my mother feeling "reminded" of how he came into the world. A mothers love will never see anything negative in the children they bare!

So no, I would not abort a life that I have conceived no matter the circumstance.

Answer 2

I thought of this before... and I still don't have an answer... I don't think I would have an abortion, knowing I killed a living being would live with me for a life time, as would being the mom of a baby that was produced by a rapist... HOWEVER.... A baby is an innocent being, they are innocent in the most purest way. I don't know if I could give up a baby for adoption either, I would probably have the baby, keep it and love it as a gift from God... but I could only truely answer that if the time came.  

Answer 3

THIS IS A TOUGH ONE. IT WOULD HAVE TO BE YOU PERSONAL CHOICE OF WHAT TO DO. SPEAKING FOR MYSELF I COULD NEVER ABORT A BABY, EVEN IF IT MEANT I PUT IT UP FOR ADOPTION BECAUSE OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES. THIS BABY DID NOTHING WRONG TO BE CONCEIVED, THE BAS***D THAT RAPED YOU NEEDS TO BE PUNISHED!!!

Answer 4

depends on my age. but i wouldnt want 2

Answer 5

Abort. There's no way I could have a child that was fruit of such traumatic experience, nor could I live knowing it exists somewhere in the world if i gave it up for adoption. Not to mention having to put up with 9 months of it inside of you...

Answer 6

I would, because if i have the child, he or she will remind me of how they were conceived and it would make me hate the child, i mean i wouldn't want to, but i subconsciously would.

Answer 7

Yes. B/c it wasn't my choice to sleep with the person and get pregnant.  Plus, I wouldn't want to be reminded of that incident daily.  

Answer 8

Yeppo, because I would sleep with some guy i don't even know and have a baby I won't even want. If its a baby between your boyfriend/ husband , i woulddn't abort

Answer 9

Nope.

I don't believe in abortions.

I'd just give it up for adoption.

I don't think I could handle being able to actually have the baby and keep it.

Answer 10

I have mixed emotions on this.  I do not believe in abortions at all.  So normally, I would say defiantly not to getting an abortion.  But when you bring the subject of rape into play, then I have a different idea.  I mean, it doesn't make the idea of abortion any more pleasant, but I know how hard it would be to have a baby when you know that you were raped and that the baby would remind you of such things.  But, I would say that having the baby and giving it up for adoption is the best idea.  Yes, once you've had the baby it would be hard to give it up, but it would be even harder for me knowing that the baby didn't even have a chance at life.  It's not the baby's fault that it was conceived, you can't take it out on the baby.  My mom was talking about this the other day, she would abort the baby due to the circumstances.  So, I saw a little into that perspective, but still... I just say give it up for adoption.  

If you were raped, and this is why you're asking, I'm very sorry.  Don't know if this is why you're asking, but if it is sorry, again.  :)

Answer 11

Its horrible enough having been raped, but having an abortion is not all it is cracked up to be. It's scary and the worst kind of feeling. I regret having one. If it is a matter of a health issure for the mother I could understand why one would be needed. There are always other options. Like couples who want to have a child but can't. There is always adoption.
