I hit keep it before I saw the rape part that was added, Id adopt out in that circumstance. But as others have said...abortion is always an option.

I would exorcise my right to choose if I got pregnant right now - even if the father was my DH.

Since that oddly isn't an option, I would adopt it.

Thankfully abortion is an option.

All because it isn't legal doesn't mean I couldn't do it.  
I choose abortion.

Quoting shes*almost*one!:" are you pregnant? all your "my friend" posts arent fooling anyone sweetie ;) i'd abort, its always an option "

Is that any of your business? No I don't think so  

Kelly. Personally I would probably keep it. Rape or not.   If abortion wasn't a possibility then I really don't think I could go through the 9 months of growing that child and then just give it up.
I think that people that give their child up for adoption are incredibly strong. I just don't think I could do it  

Quoting Koltons*Momma:" What's the difference between a rape baby and a consensual sex baby?"</blockquote> Well, rape ... [snip!] ... willingly had sex knowing u could get pregnant. Here's a huge difference between being raped and having consensual sex to me..."

She wasn't asking the difference in consensual sex and rape she was asking you what the difference is in the babies.  

Quoting Jas ♥:" <blockquote><b>Quoting Koltons*Momma:</b>" <blockquote><b>Quoting Jas ♥:</b>" ... [snip!] ... in the baby but how the baby came about"</blockquote> So why is abortion wrong in one situation and not the other?"

 

Very interesting..abortion is def my first choice but since you say no then I'd keep it...nobody gets a say in raising my DNA but me

I would keep the baby.

I know that technically abortion is always an option. I would abort in a heartbeat and probably not think twice

But I was trying to take abortion out of the equation for arguements sake.

I was in another thread where all three options were presented and i was surprised to see how many people would keep a "product of rape" rather than give it up for adoption

Which kind of comfirms (in my head) that adoption is harder than abortion

IMO I think adoption is way harder than abortion. When you abort normally you don't hear a heartbeat, feel flutter, kicks, squirming, ect. I know I'm not strong enough to adopt my child out. I commend every woman in the world that has ever done that because it can't be easy. I actually have a friend who was raped by her stepdad when we were in 8th grade, she got pregnant, had Timothy, raised him for a year, then give him up for adoption because she couldn't financially support him. She made an open adoption, but the adoptive parents haven't held up their end so it's been three years since she's seen him.

I am honestly asking how rape makes the baby any less yours? I'm not saying that it wouldn't be incomprehensibly difficult to keep the baby, nor am I saying that you have to keep it. I am just wondering why the baby isn't part of you at that point.

Yes I think it would be. I mean no matter how that child was made you still have 9 months give or take to grow that child and feel it kick and grow.
That's 9 months to process what happened to you and to think about this child. To get connected to it, love it, want it.
Some people may not be able to get over the fact that they were raped and have to give up the baby. And that is completely understandable and I would hope no one would ever judge them for that.
But others like me will inevitably fall in love with the child or just not be able to even think about someone else raising their child.
I think that adoption would be harder than keeping or aborting any day. I think it would kill me  

Keep the baby.

Quoting Mann Makin' Mama[BBM]:" <blockquote><b>Quoting Kelly&Coralie:</b>" I know that technically abortion is always ... [snip!] ... She made an open adoption, but the adoptive parents haven't held up their end so it's been three years since she's seen him."

Oh that's terrible   Poor girl. Yeah, I couldn't do it.

If this was a rape situation, oh geesh this would be tough on me. Abortion would be easier on me then adoption or keeping the baby. Without abortion as an option in a rape scenario with adoption I would become depressed. Probably not be able to function as a parent to our other two kids. Perhaps even try to kill myself since I have a record of that too.

If I kept a baby conceived from rape I probably would resent the baby. I have the type of personality where I wouldn't be able to get over it. My husband would probably be taking care of the baby more then me. Again suicide enters the equation.

At least with abortion I would have time to grieve without the constant reminder of the rape.
