A question to the ladies. If u were raped, and did not get to a doctor in time. Then later got pregnant, would you go full term and keep it? Or give the child up for adoption? or would u abort it right away?

Hi ministry, It would be a very terrible thing to go thru, but with much prayer and faith in God, I would have the baby. I have to realize that the baby would be innocent in all of this and that it is a child of God and He has a plan for it. I'm not saying that it would be easy at all, but I would want to do the right thing. God bless:)

Abortion is my answer to any pregnancy, raped or not. Also, I would really not be stupid enough to not go to a doctor.

There is no way I would have ever been able to Abort a child back when I was child bearing age. I honestly believe against that even in the case of Rape. For me, I would have probably ended up keeping it if I could have afforded it. Ir would have been harder to explain to them when they got older the whole story, but to me it would still be my Child, and I feel children no matter how or where they are conceived deserve a chance at life.

I would like to think that i could be strong enough to keep the child, but I am not sure in that situation. I would either keep the child or give it up to a loving family.

I'd abort it. I don't want kids period, and I sure the heck am not going to torture myself by reliving a rape every time that b*stard child kicks or moves. I'd get rid of it as soon as the pregnancy test came back positive.

I lost my virginity to a rapist when I was 13 and I was raped and beaten by 3 when I was 17...If I'd ended up pregnant by either attacks I would have aborted IMMEDIATELY....Dealing with being attacked is hard enough, when it is a very violent attack its even HARDER to deal with...the healing process is long, painful and devastating..the LAST THING I would ahve wanted added to it would be to carry my attackers baby!

I'd give it up. I don't think I'd could raise the kid myself because of the situation of the child's conception. I don't believe that I could abort a child even if I were raped. The child is innocent and maybe the silver lining to the whole incident.

If I am a lady and get raped and I found that I am pregnant, I would not choose to abort the baby. This is my baby, whatever happen, I would consider this as my baby. Abortion is an absolutely wrong and it is a crime of murder. And absolutely I am not favor for this. And I think the fetus have life and like us she/he have a right to see this wonderful world.

It would not be the child's choice so I would get him or her adopted. I would not want to have an abortion as I would not feel comfortable with myself after this. I respect other people's points of view.

Why punish the child for what the father did? No I would not.

Let's see, why is a child more important than the mother? Sorry, I can't think of a reason and if I could, that would be descriminating towards children..

A fetus is not a "child", it's a fetus. The mother is more important because she is a living, breathing, feeling, and very traumatized person. Fetus cannot think, feel, or be self-aware. The woman will ALWAYS be more important.

If I was raped and concieved because of that rape, I would seriously look at my options. I would go talk to a doctor and seek professional help. I would need to talk it out before I made any kind of decision. But right now if I were to have to make that decision I think I would abort it. I know if I were to carry it to full term I would not be able to give it up for adoption. The child would still be mine since I carried it for 9 months. So that option would be out for me.

I would keep the baby for it isnt the babies faukt it was conceived thru rape. The way i look at it.No matter if i was raped and became pregant or if my child would be born with a deformity, or some other form of hadicap.The child would still be mine and i would love itjust the same. for in my body it was given life.
