A woman who has been raped is already a victim. I think forcible rape should be a death penalty crime. For the rapist.

To expect or encourage her to abort the baby after a rape is to push her into being a perpetrator.

Abortion does not “unrape” or heal us.

For her to give life to an innocent child (that is half hers) and either care for it or give it to a loving couple is difficult but also healing. It gives her back the power in a terrible situation, and helps her to be a genuine force for good. The few women who actually carry through on this will attest to it.

Not to mention that the baby is a completely innocent party and has done nothing to deserve execution. I have heard several times that Oprah Winfrey is the product of a forcible rape. I don’t have any evidence for it though.

OTOH, do we need to carry on more bad genes?

Oprah was a VICTIM of forcible rape twice, by family members. She became pregnant at 14, which I believe she says is a product of one of the rapes.
