Most deffintley! I would absoutley do it!No two ways about it.
How ever me and my family don't like abortions and are really pretty much against it.I'm a Catholic so we think it's wrong and it is to me unless it's rape.Thats what I think about it.

Teen pregnancies pose a lot of health risks to the girl and the baby.
A teen who was raped is a whole other level of concern.
If she wants to abort, I am 100% supportive of her decision.
Just as I am 100% supportive of her filing charges against the rapist and having him castrated.
Abortion is a necessary evil.
It is something that evokes a lot of moral, social and theological angst among people.
I do not believe that abortion should be outlawed...it serves a purpose in certain cases and this sounds like one of those cases
People who say abortion is wrong on all accounts clearly has no compassion for a person like this teen girl who didn't have a choice in the rape or the pregnancy.
A parting shot to the so-called pro-life people: all they care about is the fetus...and once born, they don't care what happens to the baby or the mom.

Of course it is ok, as well is it ok to keep it. The choice is the girl's. She has to decide what she can live with. But in my opinion, if the girl was not at a point in life where she was ready to raise a family she should abort-especially with the circumstance in which the pregancy took place.
Think of what mental dynamics the child will have to go through, when they are older. Life is already unfair for those that are here and alive, why should a child be born into circumstances so unfair from her first moment of conception.
Another point is health-The girl will obvously not know the medical history of the father. Will the psychoitic patterns from the rapist be passed on? For the girl to raise a child with problems they have no history of is a Scary thought!

Its a personal choice that the girl would have to make. My boyfriends mother was raped at 18 and decided to have the baby and keep it. There are people out there that will say no abortion is wrong but its really a decision you have to choose. Giving up the baby for adoption is probably a much more popular route to take.

I think any woman who needs to have an abortion should have access to one. It's her health, it's her body, it's her responsibility to ensure her health and her body are taken care of. If pregnancy isn't something she can go through, for whatever reason, she should be allowed to end it without being persecuted like she's some damn murderer. She should, however, be given ALL options as opposed to abortion only. She should know that an alternative to abortion is adoption, or keeping the baby herself if she wants. She should be thoroughly educated on what can happen with each of these decisions so she can make an informed decision and know that her decision is best for her circumstance. She should not be pressured any which way.

It depends entirely on the victim. Some victims can handle the idea of bearing the child, maybe they will even raise it as their own, maybe they will place it for adoption. Some victims cannot bear the idea of having a rapist's child and opt to abort it. Abortion thankfully is a legal procedure in this country so the victim and her doctor (and any one else she decides to include) can decide what to do. Morally, I personally have no problem with abortion, it is up to the victim.

I think that if that is what she wants then yes it's right. I think in the Situation that it should be okay.. i know alot of people are like it isn't the baby's fault that the mom was raped, but why should the mom have to suffer, through a pregnancy? so i would say yes its right.

I think that any woman who has been raped should have the option of abortion. The stress and constant memory of what happened to her should not be forced on her through 9 mos of pregnancy and labor.

yes obviously no other go.Now if you know the person who raped you then you can even go ahead and speak up about the present situation ans ask him to get married .Now why Im telling you this is because abortion it is like killing an innocent for no crime.anyway thinking practically i think it wud be right for you to go for an abortion.

How many teenagers do you know personally who have been raped and have conceived a baby? Probably none.
I'm tired of people using this excuse as a reason for having an abortion.
To answer your question, NO, it's not right.
