I would keep the baby.Most people say that pregnacy after rape will cause more grief and it is best to get an abortion. They say that looking At the kid will only be a constant reminder. I disagree. I think abortion will add more grief and maybe other psycological problems to the already standing situation. Most women that had the baby I read had no negative thoughts ever about the child and love that child for however long after the birth. I think a birth would be the best answer because you would ultimately be like a rainbow after the storm, joy after the pain, and sunshine after the rain. I think having the child would be bringing a gift from god after a horrible situation. Plus at least you can take another turn afterwards. Abortion is permanent. You can never turn back afterwards. At least there is still adoption if the birth is a problem.
I mean no offense to people who have or are struggling through this but as you do,I have a right to my opinions, even if they offend u.
Kathleen DeZeeuw, whose son Patrick was conceived in rape when she was 16, writes: "I, having lived through rape, and also having raised a child 'conceived in rape' feel personally assaulted and insulted every time I hear that abortion should be legal because of rape and incest. I feel that we're being used by pro-abortionists to further the abortion issue though we've not been asked to tell our side of the story."
The case against abortion for incest pregnancies is even stronger. Studies show that incest victims rarely ever voluntarily agree to abortion. Instead of viewing the pregnancy as unwanted, the incest victim is more likely to see the pregnancy as a way out of the incestuous relationship because the birth of her child will expose the sexual activity.
For example, Edith Young, a 12-year-old victim of incest, writes twenty-five years after the abortion of her child: "The abortion which was to 'be in my best interest' just has not been. As far as I can tell, it only 'saved their (my parents') reputations, solved their problems' and allowed their lives to go merrily on."
