If they could make sure the kid never found out he/she was a rape baby, then fine, I would never agree with abortion. This is a very strong statement and I don't if any of you have been in this situation to add feelings, but if I was with a woman and got her pregnant and she aborted it, I would be ****ed. For one thing I don't agree with abortion and for another, if she didn't want it, I certainly would, and I would give the child a great upbringing and great family life. I believe once the woman is pregnant and there is a baby in there, it is a child, if a woman makes the decision to end my child's life for any other reason than to save her life, she shouldn't feel to darn upset if I make the same decision about her life. Abortion shouldn't be an alternitive for not being responsible. If any of you know what it feels like to lose a child, you know what it feels like to see people abort one when yours is gone.

You may be an exception,but there are a lot of dead beat Dads out there. There are also an awful lot of children being raised in poverty. Now, I'm not saying that these are valid reasons for abortion, but a fifteen year old girl is scared out of her mind when she finds out she's pregnant. Her boyfriend just had sex with her because he could and it was cool and he's not going to stick around, let alone support the babe with his p/t job at McD's - that's for his weekly supply of liquor. Her parents toss her out on her ear because she's violated the church just by engaging in premarital sex. Now what? Adoption? She'll be shunned at school. And not one of her friends will look her in the eye. Now she's depressed. Her marks slip because she can't concentrate as the shelter is so noisy and she's not sleeping or eating well enough for one let alone two. The crazy mood swings any pregnant woman experiences are peanuts compared to the hormones she's enduring from puberty now doubled with pregnancy. This is her life for the next nine months - if she's strong enough to make it and the depression doesn't take the ultimate price. So, I'm sorry if some girl makes a choice thats right for her and not for you because this story is way more common than any of us want to acknowledge.
