Well I for one would have encouraged her to keep the baby, but I would have said "Carry YOUR baby to term!"
There are plenty of beautiful, wonderful children born of one despicable parent, and one decent parent. I married one. Thank God that abortion was not an option for my mother in law.
Always remember that half of that baby is from the mother. That baby may smile like the mother, laugh like the mother, or look just like the mother and everyone she loves and holds dear.
Killing her own child could hardly be any comfort for someone who went through such an awful experience. Adoption is always an option.
