For Women Only. If you became pregnant due to rape or incest rape would you feel fine carrying the baby to term and giving birth to it? Why?

If the rapist were your father? Would that make a difference?
If the rapist were a guy high on drugs with a very serious disease that is genetic?


Of course it isn't the baby's fault. But unless you have been pregnant for nine months amd given birth you do not have a clue what is involved so you have no say in the matter. For you it would simply be a thought exercise.

I don't know how I would answer that question though I was pregnant and gave birth to my son.

At first I was appalled and disgusted and hated the idea. But then? I don't know.

When I was pregnant I honestly didn't think much about it until the baby started kicking and gave signs of life. You get very attached beginning at that moment to what is growing within you. At least I did.

As I said I don't know what I'd do. Do you know what you would do?

    I don't know.  It depends on my circumstances and who raped me.  

    If I am alone and poor?  That is worse than if I am married and have support.  For starters.  

    Was the attack vicious?  Who needs to relive that over and over?  I am not a person who thinks children are punished when abortion happens.  

    That is silly.  That life, if it was meant to happen, will happen.  If a soul can come "down" and enter a fertilized egg in the first place, it can return and try again in the future.  This is ETERNITY we are talking about here.  So, I don't believe we are eliminating this "baby" from being born.

    Think of the baby.  What happens when the baby is born?  Can it  be brought up in a safe environment where it is loved and cherished?  The only way to get ahead of this disaster is to think of the innocent child. 

    Think beyond YOUR tragedy and think of the baby.

    Yes. Well that is fine and dandy Sharon. One can no more predict the future of a baby conceived in rape/incest or one conceived in love and mutual desire. However one can imagine any set of circumstances where the baby either lives a terrible life or a great life. Predciting futurely for yourself is difficult enough. Predicting futurely for another human being is impossible. WHAT IF YOU ARE THE BABY? WHAT IF YOU ARE 14 and it was your dad who raped you? There is a reason why first cousins aren't supposed to marry. It has to do with the HEALTH of the child who may turn out to have very bad genetic difficulties. So it is complicated and involves far more than just assuming you can predict what will happen to the child. Thank you for your reply. Different strokes..
