Having an abortion isn't killing a baby. A baby is a BORN human. A pregnancy/zygote/embryo/fetus is not a BORN human. Therefore no baby has been killed. I've been raped at knifepoint, had I been impregnanted during that rape I would have had an abortion, How does it make YOU feel to cause someone the pain of thinking about such a life altering event by being judemental about the ordeal when it didn't affect YOUR life?

This is for Reva...the morning after pill IS an abortive. It prevents implantation by causing the woman's cycle to process a menses...in otherwords it creates a miscarriage and a miscarriage as we all learned in highschool (or should have),is a spontaeous abortion...The morning after pill is also NOT 100% effetive...only 85% when taken properly and when it was by presctription only the doctor also insisted on doing a pregnancy test 6-8 weeks after (just in case) Been there Done that

Answer 4

I have been through this. And no you will not forget. I had an abortion because at the time I could not afford to raise a child. I also felt grossed out because I was pregnant by the guy who raped me. I should have put the baby up for adoption. I thought that if I had the abortion all the feelings would go away. I thought that I could forget. I was very young at the time. I didn't forget. The only thing that I feel now is guilt and what if....Only you can make this decision, but please consider your options. Guilt is a hard thing to carry for the rest of your life.

Answer 5

OK, having a pregnancy terminated isn't going to make you forget you were raped, But you have too think about how you will feel, knowing you were raped, and growing this monsters baby inside your body? and then going through all the pain of having the child then would you love it or would you resent it because of how it was born??
I was raped and fell pregnant during the assult i was booked in for a termination and had a mis carriage only 2 days before the appointment, i went through the miscarriage i didn 't want the curet i just wanted too do it on my own... turned out i was having twins and i had the twin aborted! i don't regret it i have since married and had 2 little girls who i love and adore i think of the pregnancy a lot i think of the children they could have been, but they wouldn't have been the best they could be because i don't think i could have loved them like i love my children now!

I hope it helps! it doesn't take the pain away but its got to make it worse having a constant reminder of the whole ordeal.
Good luck

I am not personally a rape victim, but was very close to someone who was.

Crissy was 9 years old when her biological father raped and impregnated her. Her family called her a liar and disowned her, except for her grandmother. Despite the ridicule she would face, and the extreme risks to her tiny body, Crissy knew that the life inside her deserved a future and should not be punished for the acts of her father. She gave birth to Amber, and Crissy's grandmother raised her and her child until Crissy was able. Crissy became a loving Christian woman, who married a loving Christian man. They had 2 children of their own. Crissy never told Amber the truth, because she shouldnt have to carry the burden for life. She told her that she experimented as a child and became pregnant. Crissy was a wonderful wife, mother, and friend. She died at age 24 from ovarian cancer. Amber, her daughter was carrying twin girls (yes, Amber was very young too, the babies were conceived with her boyfriend). Crissy never got to see her beautiful grandbabies, but her strength, love, and integrity live on in her family. Some women are not as strong as Crissy was even as a broken little 9 year old child. I know a few girls who have had abortions and still cry every day. I see abortion as a sick but necessary evil. 3,000 babies are tragically killed every day, but if abortion was illegal they would live to be raised by parents that didnt want them, many would be on the streets because our foster care and welfare systems could not handle them all. Not to mention how much more abuse there would be, and the extreme effect it would have on our population. I'm not saying they are meant to die, but like I said, its kind of a necessary evil, and something that will never change.
I Certainly dont think aborting a baby makes you forget what happened. And for those who say they arent babies until they are born, that is sick. My cousin had a baby when she was only 4 months along. The baby's eyes were still sealed, and his hands and feet were still webbed. Some people have abortions at that time in their pregnancy, and say its not a baby. Today, that "non-baby" is a handsome, healthy, 8 year old boy. I'd have like to see anyone try and tell my cousin that her teeny, sick, impossibly premature baby, was not a real person.

Answer 7

You will NEVER forget that you were raped - that's a very tramatic ordeal.
I lost my 2nd baby in my 6th month, my first and the next 2 (after losing the 2nd) kept me so busy I did NOT even think about the one I lost.
I am a person who believes in choice and I'm sure you'll get tons of answers yelling at you for aborting - but it was your decision, not theirs. I would have done the same if I had been through what happened to you.

Answer 8

You will always know that you have been raped. You can get help to work through this as much as it's possible to work through it, but you will always know that you have been raped.

This is one of the many reasons that rape should be reported immediately. A second reason is that if semen is found in the vagina of a rape victim, she will be given RU486, which is commonly referred to as the morning after pill. This is NOT an abortion pill. This is a drug that prevents the implantation of a fertilized ova. Without implantation, there is no pregnancy. The morning after pill can be taken up to 72 hours after unprotected intercourse. A third reason, and just as important, is for disease protection.

If you don't report a rape, you risk a pregnancy, but you also risk lives, including your own.

As to the idea of aborting or not aborting a fetus that is the result of a rape, that is entirely up to you and your doctor. It is no one else's business, EVER.

Answer 9

you will fell the same weather you have the baby or not. i was raped but never became pregnant. but i know how hard it is i cant amagine how much worse it is for you in this situation. but hunny its your decision and only you can make that choice. but think that if you have this baby will you be able to look at your baby and love it for who it is and not for why it is here. dont abort there are plenty of people that would love a little baby if you couldnt look after the lil one.

hope this helps

Answer 10

I just want you to know that i don't judge you. If you chose to have the abortion you are just aborting a product of what happened to you. I don't think anything will make you forget what happened. But ask yourself this could you love a child that created not out of love but a traumatizing experience?
