Yeah, I can agree on your stance under consensual unprotected sex. What about
unconsensual (ie, rape)? Should the woman suck it up and endure pregnancy because some
asshole got her pregnant against her will? Let's assume the pregnancy bears no risk to the
mother, but remain a fact that she didnt choose to conceive nor she had any say in the matter
(otherwise it wouldnt be rape, would it?).
That is a tough question. All I know for sure is that the rapist is the one that violated her
rights, not the child. Punishing one due to the actions of another seems unfair to me, but that
is just my opinion. I know someone who was a product of that and she is thankful to her
mother that she not only chose to not abort her, but raise her as well. But this hits close to
home for me, as my sister who was adopted, was a product of rape. She got to live in a loving
home and is now a professional positively influencing the lives of others. Her life has a lot of
value to society and it would be a big loss to her community if she had never been born. I
would hope that the woman in the scenario you just proposed would give the child up for
adoption if she could not bring herself to raise the child
