If you had been raped and got pregnant could you have the child?

If I were raped, and got pregnant, I would definitely have the child. I would take it on talk shows, make a movie about it, etc. I would be famous. Dude gives birth! Its middle name would be ChaChing

lets me think.. i think that is a very serious situation, buti really dont know if i bring the child to life (because the child isnt guilty, the mother too.. but is horrible because u will remember forever and ever.. ).. i really dont know if im in this situation i will abort, first because im not in favour of the abortiion, second, because if i do this, i will kill a child who isnt guilty about nohing.. so i think that i would have it.. but of course, is depending on the situation we would live in..

No, I don't think that I could but when I was a caseworker in Philadelphia I had I client that did keep a child of rape. All she could remember was that the rape occurred while she was waiting for a bus at night and that the guy was old and disgusting. She was very young, didn't tell anyone and didn't realize she was pregnant until she was several months gone. She loved that child more than anything and was a wonderful mother. I asked her once how she was planning to tell the child about her father. She told me she was praying hard to have the wisdom to say the right thing when the time came. The little girl was about five then and bright as a button. She was also the most physically beautiful child I've ever seen.

I know exactly what I would do because I did it. I raised my baby and she is happily married has given me two grand children. I was a teen when it happened. Abortion was out of the question in my mind. I knew immediately I wanted to raise this innocent child from the moment I knew I was pregnant. I knew I loved my baby right then and there. Even though my first initial thoughts were I wanted to raise this baby I did have to think about whether or not I would take my anger out on the child. Each time I thought about it I knew deeply I couldn't as the baby had no part in what happened. My daughter is a beautiful women and I loved raising her. Having her was the best thing that ever happened to me.

If a woman did happen to get pregnant by a rape, and considers having an abortion, my question is: Why would you punish a baby for the sins of its father? Seriously, is it fair to not allow a child to experience life because of how it was conceived? Yes, I could raise the child if I, God forbid, should be raped and become pregnant. Without a doubt, I could. That's not even a question for me.

I know there is no way I could ever love a child that came from a rape. I would not of course blame the innocent baby. However, being raped and then getting pregnant by a man that I was not in love with there is no way that I could care for a child conceived by a rape. I would have to give it up for adoption.

..hi.. it would be real hard if that happens.. and for me, I don't know how I would react.. but one thing I'm sure of is that, I will never attempt to abort the baby.. Babies are so precious and having an opportunity to raise one is already a great achievement for me.. however, if it was a case of rape, maybe, I'd just move away from my place and go somewhere where I could start a new and take care of my child.. Of course i won't forget what happened to me because my child will serve as a reminder that something cruel happened to me before.. However, I won't blame the child because the child didn't ask to be born from that situation.. the child was just the fruit and she is innocent about the crime.. overcoming this situation is very difficult and I guess I would need someone to hold on and I need much prayer that God would help me overcome it because as a person, I'm not strong enough..

hi, I know this is very hard, the incident itself is very traumatic for any woman. If you get pregnant because of such incident this could add up to your emotional stress. Yet, there is also one thing to consider the child didn't ask to be born. The child is innocent of the incident even if he was the product of the unfortunate incident. Let me ask you would you be able to sleep at night knowing you took an innocent life? If you don't think you can keep it at least give him the right to be born and then you can decide whether you will keep it or give it up for adoption. I am pretty sure there are lots of couples who would want to adopt a child. Couples who are willing to give the child a nice house, a quality life with lots of love, things that you are not able to give or not willing to give like acceptance and love. If your bf/ or would be husband really loves you he will be able to love your past, your present as well as he would care about your future. He would be able to accept the child into his life because he truly loves you. True love is unconditional. We in our human capacity to love is limited so we need to ask God to help us love those that are unlovable to us, like for example the child born out of a this incident. This is not easy at all but nobody said it would be easy but that it would be worth it!
