I agree with the others that have answered...personally, yes, I would. But we don't know your situation, either, or you, for that matter. Depending on your age, inner strength, family values, family support, personal habits, circumstances of the rape...so on and so forth. If I had been raped violently, and beaten up, and all that, then I probably would not keep it because it would be hard reminder of the event. Once again, that is my personal choice. If it happened, God had a reason for it. God has a reason for everything that happens to us in our lives. I am not sure where you stand spiritually, but that is how I feel. Remember, it's your child, too.

I personally would have to say no. I wouldn't what to keep a baby and then resent him for what someone else did to me but then again the baby is not to blame. It all depends if your a person who is willing to forgive because if you can forgive a person for doing that, then you should do just fine with the baby. If your the type of person that can not forgive then don't bring a baby into the world knowing that you are not going to be able to love that baby to death. It is all up to you and do what you feel is best. If you don't want to kill the baby or keep the baby you can give the baby up for adoption.

Yes I would, for the same reasons every one else has stated. Not the baby's fault. I would keep the child, as well. Even conceived under those circumstances, I can't see a baby as anything but a blessing from God.

It would depend on how my husband felt about us keeping the baby. If he was OK with it I probably would since the Bible says children are a blessing from God. Even children who's lives come about by terrible means are God's children. He alone is the giver of life. If my husband was not OK with it I would have the child and give him/her up for adoption. Everyone has a right to a shot at life. If God deems them worthy enough to be created who am I to deem them not worthy enough to be born? My thoughts and reasonings are human and are certainly not higher than God's. Who am I to question Him?

It would depend if I were young then I would have not kept the baby. Ya its not the babies fault but its not yours either and why should you sacrifice your life for that.

I don't know. I'd like to say that I'd have the baby and give it up for adoption, but no one knows what they would do in that situation.

I'd like to say that I would, but I can't positively say until I would actually be in that situation - which I pray never happens! It would depend on personal situation too, I think - like financially, emotionally, etc. if I could handle that kinda stress.

No I wouldn't it would make me re live that horrible memory the rest of my life, although it isn't the child's fault, I would still feel it.
