when your been raped

Personally, I would not only go through the pregnancy but would also raise the baby. I would be hard, but in my personal opinion that baby is a light at the end of a tunnel. A fresh beginning so to say.

yes why not, after all the baby is a victim as the mother is.

I think it depends on the person whether they keep the baby or give it up for adoption. If the person has a way to take care of the baby and the desire to do so, then they should keep the baby, but I think they would need some counseling to help them psychologically. I personally know a young lady that has a little girl as a result of rape and she cannot stand to look at the child. In a case like this, it is not fair to the child to keep him/her. The person I referred to has given her little girl to her aunt to raise.

hmmm i just think it would be really hard for the mother to bring up the child so i dont think its a good idea.

it's really ok to keep the baby because it's your responsibility now regardless of what people may think but atleast you have a clear conscience. and ask for counselling advice of course because that could clear your mind in thinking negative things about the baby:)

See, you have been raped, that was not your mistake, mistake was done by someone else... by killing that baby why do you want proove that you made a mistake like the other person did... That baby has not done anything to you, so let it come to the world, let it see the world.Dont worry about the society, they will laugh if you fall down and they will cry if you grow up... So start thinking about your baby and your life...

it based on persons decission

Of course it is OK. I would definitely get counseling though.

That depends on your personal opinion. You can keep the baby, or you have the option of abortion or adoption. This is too much of a personal question to really say what's "right" and "wrong".

I don't think that there is a clear cut answer to that one. It all depends on the woman, and whether or not she can handle carrying that baby after what happened to her. Then there is also the choice of keeping the baby after giving birth, and if she is in a relationship can he handle it also. There are so many factors involved. Like I said I really think it depends on the person and the situation they are in. I personally feel that neither is the wrong answer, and wouldn't judge anyone who was in that situation and had to decide.

i think this is an individual thing, whatever that individual feel comfortable with is ok.

This is such a personal issue. For me, I would not keep the child. I know myself, and I know that the child would be a consent reminder of a crime against my body and I know that would interfere with the care I would give the child. However, there are women who are much bigger than I am and would love the child no matter what. This is totally an issue that each woman would have to decide individually and should have the right to do so.

There's a gray line on whether its right to not go through the pregnancy after an abortion. In my opinion I would like that the mother push through with the pregnancy and if she can't bear seeing the child, then just put her up for adoption. Its definitely not right to abort the child.

yes it is ok to kee p the baby but it realy depends on if they want to keep it

Of course it's ok. I don't think there is ever a situation where it is NOT ok to keep your baby and raise it.

it would be okay. it would be more wrong to take an innocent childs life who has no control over how he/she was conceived in the first place.

i don't know. but i think the victim should keep it by just continuing her pregnancy. then later when she finds it hard to love the baby then look for someone who can adopt. i believe abortion is not a good way of solving problems nor avoiding problems. in fact, some process of abortions are dangerous to the woman's health.

See i think one shudnt keep the baby.Coz that baby will always remind her of that person who raped her..And she can make her life miserable wid a thought tht someone raped her..Moreover think about the kid.what wil u say when the kid is a grown up.

I was raped and got pregnant. I had every intention of keeping the baby. Unforunatly I had a miscarriage early in the pregnancy. I think it's ok to keep the baby. But its the mothers choice in the end.

A child conceived from rape will carry the stigma of being born due to his/her father's violent lust. However, abortion takes away from the child the option of living. The best recourse would be to carry through the pregnancy in a shelter for unwed mothers and give the baby up for adoption. All through this the mother must undergo intensive counseling. After that the baby should not acquire - no matter the reason- information regrading its birth and the circumstances of its conception.
