Imagine if your daughter, sister, mother, or even close female friend got raped. Let's say your daughter is just a kid; she's 14 years old. Are you okay with subjecting a child to the trauma of carrying and childbirth on top of the trauma of molestation? Let's say it's your sister. She's out having fun and, unfortunately, she's the victim of rape. You're going to look your sister in her eyes and tell her it's wrong to abort it? That doesn't even account for the financial part of keeping a rape pregnancy. What if it's a college student who's already buried in debt? What if it's a single woman who just lost her job? What if that woman has already been unemployed, can't find a job, and is on the brink of homelessness? You don't even have to be poverty-poor to not be able to care for a baby. What if you were able to live comfortably without a baby, but suddenly after your rape, everything went downhill. You're in tons of hospital debt, and now you have to pay for baby toys, clothes, and maybe a crib. Your cozy life came crashing down in less than a year.
Incest babies are inherently unhealthy. They're bound to have some kind of medical issue. Since that baby's conception, it is safe to say it's doomed. Not only will this child most likely be ridiculed if someone ever finds out about their parents, but as stated, it will most likely have some kind of disability. It can change your bone structure, cognitive abilities, and visible features. From day 1, that kid is likely going to be hurt. The argument is "it's still a life", but you are setting that life up to likely be ridiculed and made fun of, if not seriously damaged.
If you want to get rid of your kid in a non-abortion way, there's still foster care. That same terrible, disgusting, underfunded foster system. That same foster system that kids beg to be freed from. In that same foster system, kids develop depression and trust issues. That same foster system where kids wish they had a mother, or in extreme circumstances, wish they were dead or aborted. That childs mental health is suffering because they're in our currently horrendous foster care system.
The health of everyone involved is in question. What if the mother can't have the baby or she'll die? Is this mothers life worth less than the life she's creating? What if the baby is already dead? That poor woman will have a dead baby in her for who knows how long just because an abortion was denied. What if the baby has next to no chance of living? You're allowing this baby to be born knowing statistically it'll suffer and die.

I agree with this comment, because she is just stating facts. A female that got pregnant without the consent shouldn't have to endure the consequences. Like she said statistically the Baby will die, or will be unloved.
People who carelessly mated and accidentally got pregnant shouldn't be allowed abortions since they are at fault.
@9GGRK3M7mos7MO
I agree. However, I don’t think it’s only about rape victims. Women should not be required to have a child if they don’t want to. Loads of people say “just don’t have sex”. I feel like that’s idiotic. Of course you’re gonna have sex. It’s basic hormones. An unborn child to me, is not worth more than the woman carrying it.
@9GH6HD37mos7MO
I completely agree with everything that was said. A mother shouldn't be forced to carry a baby to term if it's financially a burden to them, they aren't of age, or if they were sexually abused. It's their body so ultimately it is their choice.
@9GGRQCFPeace and Freedom7mos7MO
I do not agree with pro life because no one's opinion especially a man should have the right to say whether or not a women has the right to give birth.
@9GGR8JF7mos7MO
I said about as much in fewer words. We shouldn't force people to give birth, and the mother's safety and security should always be prioritized. Policies limiting abortion will disproportionately affect those in lower income brackets, while conservatives will argue against assistance programs. It's complete nonsense and harmful to humanity.
Abortion is good for this. No one should have to deal with a child they don't want. I would be fine letting the author know. I don't see the reason in not letting the author know.
@9GGQ2YJ7mos7MO
Abortion should only be allowed if you can prove that it was rape or incest , But if its a child it should be allowed
@9GGPXZ87mos7MO
I feel like abortion should be allowed, especially in cases of rape and incest. Its wrong that the punishment for abortion is more than the raper gets for raping someone.
