A young friend of mine was date raped and got pregnant. Her little girl brings much joy to her and to her parents. No excuse to kill babies. Sorry. There are people out there who would gladly adopt. M

God bless your friend! I can only imagine how difficult it would be to carry a baby after a rape. However, the pain and guilt of an abortion would be just as bad, but no one ever tells these women that.

If a child is conceived during a rape, it isn't the child's fault. If the mother has difficulty accepting the child as her own, adoption is always an option. There are many wonderful people who are waiting to adopt. Both choices -- keeping the baby or putting her up for adoption -- are loving choices. Murder is not a loving choice.
