A Real Tough Decision..What Would You Do??

If you were raped and got pregnant as a result, what would you do?

1. Keep the baby and raise him/her regardless

2. Carry the baby full term and give it up for adoption

3. Terminate the pregnancy as soon as possible

 

Terminate, terminate terminate.

 

If I were ever raped, I'd be on the morning-after pill so fast... ugh

 

I don't know how to answer the question. When i got pregnant accedently I thought about all those options. I chose to keep the baby. Then when she waas two a neighbor called dcfs andshe has been with my parents who adopted her. She knows that i am her bio mom and everything is ok between us. However, I really miss her terrablly, but I am not thetype to want kids. I'm disabled and it's really hard for me to handle them. I never should have had a baby, it's not really a part of my nature. I really considered abortion for a minute, and I considered adoption outside my family. Here's the thing though, when you ae pregnant, the furter you go into it, and i mean days even hours, the more inlove with this child you become. You think about names from the beginning, you think about the sex of the baby, the health, the lotes you want to buy. THe foods you want the baby to try. How you want to raise the baby. You never stop thinking about that baby. You really fall inlove with this child. And whn the baby moves in your womb it brcomes infanetly stronger love. There is nothing like it in the whole world. You will never love anything more then you love a child. So there is still the possability of adoption when it was rape. I think adoption would be what i would do if i was raped, but I really don't know I might keep the baby. I miss my daughter every minute of every day. So i guess the answer to the question for me will always have to be i don't know but i know i could never have an abortion. However, I do believe in freedom of choice, don't misunderstand, what is right for you may not be right for someone else. Anyway I'm sorry I talked forever but when I talk about Suzy i talk for a long time. Hugs gilli

 

it would all depend on how old i was

 

Morning after pill but if for some reason that wasn't an option I would terminate the pregnacy.

 

I think it's just one of those things where yur not really sure what you'd do until you were put in that situation...right now, I'd probably want to keep the baby, cause I don't know if I personnaly could ever have an abortion...but if it actually did happen, I'd probably end up changing my mind...

Yeah...it's a really hard question to answer...

 

i'm with you on that one.

but hypothetically, if i was raped and the morning-after pill was ineffective or unavailable, i would definitely have an abortion.

 

at least you could make a good case against the bastard if you did keep it

 

then wring him for maitenence for the rest of his life... mwahahaha

 

Morning after pill here.

 

Funny question, seeing as this DID happen to me when I was 14. I found out I was pregnant on my 15th birthday.

I decided to carry the baby and give it up for adoption (I may have even kept it if it had survived)

I wonder why so many of you would have an abortion if the morning after pill wasn't available? (I was so scared at 14 and I didn't even know what that was. I wasn't going to tell anyone what happened but I got preggers and had to)

I'm sorry but abortion is the easy way out. It's not the baby's fault. I think you people are weak minded in this situation. Life happens and this is just like an unplanned pregnancy between two people who consent to sex. It would be hard to keep the baby and look him/her in the eyes, but why deprive someone else the opportunity to have a sweet healthy baby? Like I said, it's not the baby's fault and I couldn't bring myself to end his or her life. That happened naturally.

 

HeadyMoe, that was a great post. I could never bring myslef to abort a child, not that I am pro-life because I am definately not, it is just ME and I can't do it. I wold keep it and love it like my other children... yes it wold be hard to explain it to them and I am sure I wold get shit from society for keeping it but it wold be a part of me and I wold accept it.

thanks. most people disagree strongly. People kept asking me horrible questions when I was trying to decide like "won't you see the eyes of your rapist every time you look at your child?" It was awful.

I understand that many girls would not be in a position to keep it, but I just couldn't bring myself to punish the child.

I'm glad someone can appreciate it. I get a lot of shit about it still. It's not that I'm against any and all abortions, but I couldn't bring myself to get one unless me or my child was physically in danger.

 

I think we share a brain...........

I wouldn't be able to carry it to term because I would hate that child. I honestly would. I would blame it. Not pretty, but it's what I would do. I would feel like I was cursed, and this was a huge burden, like an awful punishment. I would get an abortion if the morning-after pill wasn't available or didn't work. I'm shallow like that sometimes

 

I chose abortion because at this point in my life I can't be a parent, period. If I got pregnant right now with my BOYFRIEND'S BABY I'd have an abortion; I certainly wouldn't keep a rapist's baby. I would love to think that I would give the baby up for adoption instead, but deep down I really doubt that's what I'd do.

 

doesn't sound shallow to me...sounds like you are making a choice..


and that is what this is about, with a few more horrible factors thrown in!! Due to the not nice factors of the question I have to honestly answer that I do not know what I would do and I don't think I would be able to decide this unless the particular set of circumstances actually occured so I didn't have a vote there.

 

It would depend on SOOOOO many factors.... Put at this stage in my life I would either terminate the pregnancy or give it up for adoption.... Im just not ready for a kid....

 

I'm pro-choice, but personally against abortion. I'd carry it to full term and probably give it up for adoption at this point in my life...because hubby and I aren't quite ready for children yet. There's a possibility that I'd keep it though...because I'd probably get mighty attached to it, but it'd have to be a unanimous decision between me and hubby...because I could also see him being a little apprehensive about keeping another man's baby, and a man who raped me no less...I could see how he'd probably resent keeping the child. But I know I wouldn't abort.
