Abortion is a very very very touchy subject for everyone. Just about anyone you ask has an opinion, regardless of their background. I know there are many ideas regarding this subject but these are just two points I found in a conversation I had with my boyfriend today when talking about someone who is raped and ends up pregnant.
His thought was aborton isn’t right because you are killing an innocent baby. If you don’t want to keep the baby you put it up for adopton after it is born and never have to worry about it again. Even though it is the result of a sin, in this case it was rape, the baby hasn’t committed a sin. I understand where he was coming from here and I can agree with him on every part of what he said. This has never happened to me, and for that I thank God, but I would most likely put up the baby for adoption. I say that now but I know that when something happens it can alter your ideas.
Though I agreed with him, I asked him to look at it from a girl’s point of view. I said, “Not only did this guy invade you in the most personal and fucked up way possible, he got you pregnant. That thing inside you is that motherfucker’s child….and it reminds you of what he did to you every time you think about it, everytime you get sick and have to run to the bathroom to throw up your breakfast or dry heave cause its the third time this morning.” The baby of your rapist ould be living inside of you until you gave birth, nine months later, a constant reminder of what he did to you.
This whole situation really makes you think….there are so many opinions it’s hard to decide what’s right and what’s wrong.
What do you guys think?

I think you have to leave it up to God. He has the answer. There is a reason that child is growing inside the victim (other than the biological sperm and egg thing). God allowed the creation, let God deal with it. Most people today would leave God out of the decision. We often ask “Why?” when something we don’t like happens. But rather than “Why?” we can turn the question around and ask “What for?” For what reason did this baby get formed inside me? For what purpose did the earthquake in Haiti happen?
Everything is in God’s hands, whether you know it or not…I understand the POV of the poor victim, but can you imagine the strength which would develop inside this person if she carries the baby for 9 months?

That’s a question I wish she would take the time to ask. But she’s cursed what happened to her and the baby in turn. I feel bad for both of them and she’s going to have to live with the decision she makes. She’s not a friend of mine or I would pass your point along to her. I’m not entirely sure if she would take anyone’s advice into consideration now that’s she made her decision though. I hope God blesses her no matter what she decides to do.
Thank you for your comment, opinion, and time. It’s very much appreciated.

P.S. My boyfriend completely and totally agrees with you.

The other thing to note is that God is aware of her circumstances, and will not condemn her for her action. She can simply ask forgiveness and express sorrow. And we as humans should not be condemning her either. I would just like to hug her and help her through the pain.
On the other hand, even if she’s not a friend, maybe now’s the time to try and be one for her.
Keep that thoughtfulness through your life, and you’ll go far.
