A question about rape and abortion......?

Question

If YOUR snow-white daughter is brutally raped by a dark black man, should she be FORCED to have the baby if the rape results in a pregnancy?

Jeebus is a wise man.
And for the rest of you, this is a kind of follow-up to my last question. I want to compare the answers.

Answer 1

ABSOLUTELY NOT! NOT NOW NOT EVER!

she shouldnt be FORCED to do anything, and any conservative-minded fundamentalist that wants to argue can go get raped themselves and see how they feel!

ignoring the psychological, and possibly even physical consequences of an underage girl giving birth to the child of her rapist, the choice is hers.

not the rapist's because he deserves to die in prison.

not the local church minister's because he is probably too caught up in the words of the bible to truly understand her trauma.

not the parents, because in the end, SHE will have to care for the child.

after that, it is a question of morality.

if her character is strong enough to handle giving birth to her rapist's baby, raise it, give it love as an innocent child of God, then we shall all applaud her.

if she has strength to give birth to it, then ensure that, in the hands of another family, the baby will get the love and affection it needs, then she should be admired for her strength.

if, however, she cannot ensure the baby a happy, normal life, and cannot raise it herself (for fear of never getting over the trauma and possibly hurting the baby itself w/ her psychological issues), then the best option is naturally abortion.

rape is abuse. abuse is hurting another person by forcing your will over theirs. if she gives birth to a baby which never gets love, thats abuse. and if her parents or church minister or ANYONE FORCES her to live with something that to her might be eternally a reminder of the shame, the impurity, the severe lack of control, the TRAUMA of rape, that is abuse.

ABUSE IS WRONG NO MATTER WHAT.

Answer 2

Oh Good Lord.

I know the whole 'Abortion is against Gods plan' deal with most religions...but so is rape.

I'm going to leave aside the religious aspect as much as I can because it's really a personal decision.
So I'm just going to say this:

My daughter is a product of rape. I was dating her father, but it was still a horrific rape scenario and I must admit that sometimes I am filled with resentment towards her.

The fact that you state that the daughter was brutally raped suggests that the act will have many other repercussions. You need to think of her mental state, her age, her ability to overlook the origins of her child. The fact that you stated colour difference makes me wonder how you'll cope with an inter-racial grand-child.

I know the religious gig, it played a huge role in my decision. But if she is pregnant, and she doesn't want a baby, let her have an abortion. If the first sin hadn't been committed she'd never be in this position. Don't let her pay for the sins of another.

Answer 3

why are you sayin that "if your daughter is raped by a dark black man"........ it sounds as if u r being racist.....
and second thing its not ur daughter responsible.
i say that u should call the person and your daughter and some other wise people u trust...........
and then find a solution....
if your daughter says she wants the baby it should be fine with the man
if man agrees to adopt the baby it should be fine with your daughter..
if both agree then the best solution is their marrige
if both disagree best solution is to let somebody else adopt that baby who might be interested in the baby....

and there is no religion that says tht she should be forced.......it is always the responsibility of the person who's fault it is. so since the raper was the man, if he is forced to adopt the baby it is no wrong....................and the second possibility can be this:-
the person who possesses the ability to raise the baby should adopt the baby...(it means if he/she can raise the baby in a good manner , in an educated environment......and if he/she has enough money to raise the child)

Answer 4

Is this a question about race or religion? If it's racist I would be more worried about my daughters emotional state than the color of the person that she was raped by whether he was black, white or green! Religiously I don't believe in abortion under any circumstances the baby is innocent in all of this and whether or not you could decide to parent this child or give it up for adoption would depend on her emotional state. I had a child that was the result of a date rape and I wouldn't give her up for the world! She is a part of me and a gift from God!

Answer 5

I don't think the race of either of them has anything to do with it. I think abortion is wrong but if you are raped I can understand. If I was raped I would have it because if I had an abortion then I would feel that I was blaming the baby for me being raped, but that doesn't mean someone else should have to. I'm pretty much pro-life except in extreme cases.

Answer 6

According to the law, once a woman becomes pregnant regardless of her age, she makes her own decisions regarding the pregnancy. She cannot be forced either way. It is her decision. If a 12-year-old comes to check in at the ER where I work and states that she is pregnant, she signs for her own medical care, NOT her parents. She also signs herown HIPAA (confidentiality) form. She is also responsible for the bill. Thanks to Roe v Wade, women of all ages now have this right.

I was in this very situation at age 18. Granted I was an adult, but I could not abort. I viewed it as it was not the baby's fault of what happened to me. I made the decision to give the baby up for adoption to a good family who I knew would raise her in a loving home. I handpicked the family to get my baby, knowing that they would take care of her and love her regardless of her genetic makeup.

Answer 7

I could say that that's a hard question to answer, and maybe it is depending on who you are. No one should be forced to make such a decision. To me a woman or a snow-white daughter does what she feels is right. There are quite a bit of women who were raped and kept or gave the baby for adoption. It's your choice. Take care!

Answer 8

Stupid loaded question. I heard of a case where a married white woman was raped, and got pregnant by the rape. She never saw the rapist. The child was mixed race. The woman and her husband raised the child as a much loved member of the family.

If an underage minor is raped, and it doesn't matter what race, ethnicity, etc the parties are. The resulting child is NOT at fault and should not be punished with death....abortion.

When the child is born it should be adopted by a MARRIED, stable couple of any race or ethnicity. The child deserves a stable mother and father to raise it.

Answer 9

Nature causes abortions every day. IWhich Is one of many sighns we dont live In an Ideal world. Of course, In a Ideal world, the rape would have never happened In the first place. With that said, I think It should be her choice.

Answer 10

is your daughter able to make the decisions for herself? How old is your daughter. How long along is the pregnancy? In the case of rape no woman HAS to have the baby but it is still a life inside the woman and she can determine her own outcome. However in the case of a mentally challenged individual someone would have to make that decision for them.
