Re: Rape and Babies...
Uff! When u are married to someone, they dnt necessarily rape u. The wife consents. To kiu us bachay ko y would u want to kill? Rape is a different aspect.
rape by definition is forced and unconsentual sex. it doesn't matter if you are married or not, if you are forced to have sex, it's rape.
as for keeping or not keeping the child, again it's the victim's decision. being raped is a traumatic experience in itself. the first instinct is to cleanse yourself, to get rid of anything that will remind you of the rapist, of the event. the unborn fetus is part of the deal. to be reminded of something in the face of a child is even worse. the first instinct of a mother is to love and protect the child. but the first instinct of a victim is to get rid of that reminder. imagine if the mother did go to full term with the pregnancy. what if once the child is born, she cant's stand to be near him/her. that child will have a worse fate. to be the child of a rapist, to be a child that is victimised and ridiculed by the world, and to be hated by his/her own mother. you can't say to the victim don't abort the child. but you can't say to the victim abort it either.
