One thing that I feel like both sides of this issue, is the effect of abortion on the women. It is traumatic, and often the abortion has a psychological effect on the women, even if she thinks it is okay. This has been backed up by hundreds of women who have actually had abortions. Rape is also a very traumatic experience, but it has been documented that women who chose to keep their babies have been happier because they chose to bring the blessing of a child out of a hideous evil. Their testimony speaks, and so that is why I think that for women in a rape situation, it is important for them to think about this possible solution, and love their baby because it was a joy that was given to them because they had to undergo such pain.

I feel that if a woman is forced and becomes pregnant then she has the right to not keep the baby. I was raped and if I would have gotten pregnant I would have had an abortion. But I feel that the woman that was raped should do it as SOON as she finds out she is pregnant. Or go into the ob before the missed period to see if there's anything there and then get a D & C. But I feel if the woman doesnt do anything past the first 1-9 weeks then she should not get the abortion.. She took the time to think about it and has some sort of reson not to get it right away then she should finish carrying the child.
I dont think that I could look at the child and no see what happened to me.

Well I do not believe in abortion...but in the case of being raped I think it is ok. Most people that get abortions could have prevented it by simply using protection, but in that circumstances change and you don't have that option. I think it depends on the person and if they can handle all that goes with bringing up a child that is a result as rape. But if they can't do that and do not want the child then there is always adoption.

First, abortion in short is killing an unborn child - No one has the right to take away one's life no matter what's the cause.
Second, The baby has nothing to do with what has been done. Life is a blessing from God. Give him/her a chance to live and see the world. Who knows he/she could lead you to a better life.
Third, Even the child is a result of a rape, a torment and emotional trauma will forever be carried as a result of abortion. I have heard of many stories of women that have undergone abortion. all of them had an emotional burden that they carry for as long as they live. Having that baby into abortion makes you even far more evil that the rapist father.
I know someone who exactly have the same problem before. She let the baby live and never had regrets. And now, that baby gave her a better life, loved her better than no one, and gave her 2 beautiful granddaughters and a grandson who were very successful in their careers. They love their grandma very much. She never marry, for she was already contended with what she had. She never thought of abortion. The child has no fault for what has happened. He/ She deserves to live. Lets open our hearts and minds. Im very sad that there are lots of narrow minded people nowadays, who are into abortion. That act torments the woman for the rest of her life, and always wondering what could the baby be... if he is alive right now... if I had not taken his life away..

This would be totally unjust to the baby and harmful to the mother as well. Keep in mind that the circumstances of the baby's conception are not the baby's fault, and he or she would not choose to die. Would you execute a one-year-old because her daddy was a rapist? Of course not! Why, then, is it okay to execute the child in the womb for her father's crime? Furthermore, abortion only increases the grief and trauma of the woman who has been raped. When she realizes that she has become the aggressor, hurting an innocent person the way she was hurt, she will begin to hate herself. You can read more about abortion and rape here:

I would abort the baby because the baby came in this world by force and in a very violent unnatural way. Better yet, I would put the child in for adoption because I could not bare looking at my child and think that the baby will look like the rapist when it grows up.

If I was raped, I would want an abortion, the child would just remind me of being raped and it would probably be very upsetting. I think that in the right situations, abortion is okay.

Killing is killing, anyway you put it. It is wrong. I believe that God has a plan for every life on earth. He is the giver and taker of life, and we DO NOT have the right to do it in His stead.
I understand that a women who has been raped may not want to raise a child who she sees as a reminder of that rape. However, there are plenty of couples who are not able to have children and would love to have the opportunity to adopt a child. Maybe, we should make adoption a little more accessible to childless couples, instead of allowing the murder if millions of babies to be legal.

I have been raped and did not get pregnant. But I think that is a personal choice. Could you being a rape victim look at your child with love or hate in your heart?

I don't believe in abortions at all. Theres still a baby in there and they can feel pain. If you don't want to keep the baby give it away. But I can't stand thinking of a babies arms and legs being torn off and sucked out. But some people has no feelings. Besides its not the babies fauth and its still your baby also.
