Is abortion okay for those who were raped or molested by a family member?

Answer 1

You'll get varying answers on here, no doubt. If you are the one, I'm truly sorry that you had to go through that. If you're not, and you KNOW someone who has, again, I'm sorry.

I'm not of the mind that any child deserves to be killed. My advice is to carry to term and place the child in loving two parent home - preferably not in the family of the victim or perp.

That being said, whatever decision you're facing, I hope that you find some incredible people to support you. Best wishes.

Answer 2

the odds are that if you decide not to have an abortion the baby will either die before its born, or have many problems if it is born. two people that have matching or similar DNA cannot produce a healthy baby. if you end up having a miscarriage it could jeopardize your health. is it worth all the risks, and if you do have it can you afford to pay for the treatment of its medical problem, I guess you could ask some of the ant-abortion protesters for money, but good luck getting any. its a sad decision, but it'll have to be a personal decision.

ADDED: your going to have a lot of trouble getting someone to adopt a retarded baby, I know its not the baby's fault and thats no reason to care for it any less, but the simple truth is that that's just not what adopters are looking for, then if it stays in a foster home, what happens when he/she turns 18 who takes care of it then if it cant take care of itself?

Answer 3

I think so, because, it's enough to have to deal with fact of being raped or molested period. Then, if you tack on being assaulted by a family member and pregnancy, there's just too much stress.

Answer 4

No. The child should not be punished by death for the crime of her father. She is innocent and does not deserve to die. Abortion also allows perverts to continue their molestation undetected. Many victims of incest are coerced by their tormentors into abortion when they do not want it themselves. Abortion only increases their trauma and grief. For more on this, see:

Answer 5

This is a touchy subject...you're going to get a mixed barrel of answers and some extreme view points. Personally I believe in a woman's right to choose.

If these circumstances have happened to you, and you want to get an abortion, I don't think you are wrong.

Answer 6

What ever you do or have encountered, There is no reason for the child in the womb to suffer, cause he isnt the result of your planning or your accident. Hold no grudge against the child for he is born only of the will of God,
Dont commit a murder to negate a rape.

Answer 7

yes.i know its easy to say but very difficult to do.abortion is like a murder.but all this stuff looks good in books.suppose if one gives birth to a child after being raped who will take the responsibility to bring up the child.its very difficult 4 woman to upbring the child alone.who will marry the girl in future if she already have a baby ?Good luck.

Answer 8

Abortions are legal. You can get one anytime, even for rape by a family member.

If you were raped by a family member, tell your mother immediately and tell her which family member raped you. Please do it as soon as possible.

Answer 9

ask the victim- does she want the baby. If no- then abort it.
You cant pressurise the victime- its just a yes and No-
Mostly you sold abort it- but sometimes the victims fom a bond with the baby in the tummy and it would ONLY hut their emotions to kill it.
JUST ASK THE VICTIM OR THE PREGNANT PERSON.
and kick the molestors or Rapists ***- whta right do they have!
Never give respect to that molestor.

Answer 10

That is one reason God gave us the Gift of abortion. Abortion should be used when you have prayed to God and asked for guidance. It is a personal choice. And keep in mind that God does not kill in abortion. In abortion, no human has been born, God takes the soul of the fetus and protects it and does not allow it to die. So you are not killing with abortion. You are simply doing God's will. Anyone that tells you abortion is murder is saying that God is a murderer when he aborts in miscarriage.
People are defined by the God they choose to follow. I follow the God of the bible and his Pro Choice views. My God invented abortion because he knows that sometimes it is not right for a child to be born. MY God knows when it is wrong and right. MY God does not kill babies or fetuses. MY God takes the soul of the fetus and protects it from harm. MY God does not fear the actions of men or the effect of their actions. MY God has the power to correct mistakes made by men.
The pro life god is a weak god. Their god allows the murder of innocent children and the killing of doctors and the bombing of hospitals. Such a god should not be followed. Do you choose my all powerful, all loving God or do you choose the hate filled murdering god of the pro life movement? Who will you follow? Who will you believe?
