that he or she was conceived in that manner? Should he or she be given a chance at life like everyone else?

How in the world can it be the child's fault? The child was not even conceived, much less alive to direct his or her future parents to have sex? Of course the child has every right to live, just as you or I do. Just because it's parents did something horrible (in the case of incest, in rape only one did something bad) doesn't mean the child needs to be euthanized! Some products of incest are born with problems, but others are not, and because of modern technology, many of these problems can be overcome. Do we abort deformed children in the womb? No, that is as bad as female infanticide in some cultures, so no it is wrong to kill or kill a child just because his or her parents were wrong.
In the case of rape, yes there have been some recorded events where a child of rape grows up to be a rapist himself (himself, as most rapists are male), but most do not. It's a case of nature versus nurture and unless it is proven that products of rape can do nothing but become rapists, which never will be proven because it is not true, then of course we shouldn't kill them. Even if 99% of products of rape become rapists, it would still be wrong to kill that one innocent child.
EVERYONE deserves a chance at life.

The chile is never at fault.The child should definitely be given a chance at life. It's not the child's fault. As humans, we make mistakes, ending up with unwanted pregancies. Criminals commit heinous acts with the same result. While it would be difficult for the victim of such a crime to carry the child for the following nine months, there are many people waiting to adopt if the mother felt she could not care for it. The best thing to do would be to seek out a pregnancy center for victims or unwed mothers and get counseling througout the process. Killing a child is never the answer, and won't stop the pain of the victim but only compound it and add a large dose of guilt.

Of course it wasn't the child's fault that it was conceived through rape or incest. And yes, that child does deserve a chance at life just like everyone else.

I think if it is caught at a early point then just save the child from a world of hate and horror. Dont let the child be a every day reminder of what the mother endure.

Yes the child should live
The child is a gift from God
The way it came about is not to blame
I myself was raped and became pregnant
She is 7 years old now
And Love her dearly
She lives with me
What a wonderful blessing she has been, and will continue to be!

It's NEVER the child's fault. EVER. They should be treated like every one else. The best that life has to give them. They deserve the best in life just like the rest of us.

Abortion is unquestionably a type of homicide, although, that is not homicide. homicide has as one in all its factors, malice aforethought. i do no longer think of a woman who comes to a decision to abort has malice in her coronary heart, like a murderer does. i'm professional life, yet my coronary heart is going out to the damaging rape/incest sufferers. What a God poor place to be in. God bless the girls individuals who carry to term rape/incest infants! God damn those people who're professional decision.

Please explain to me how it can be the child's fault?!
Did they have a say in what went on? Did they ask to be born into those circumstances?
They should be treated for who they are: normal people who have been dealt an unfortunate hand.
