For pro-life people who say abortion is wrong even when rape caused the pregnancy?

Question by CW: For pro-life people who say abortion is wrong even when rape caused the pregnancy?
If you were the ones to get brutally raped and psychologically traumatized and then you end up pregnant from the ordeal, would you REALLY want to be reminded of the moment every day for 9 months ???

yes, you are “killing” a life, but how about YOUR life ??? your miserable 9 months of carrying the baby of someone who hurt you the most?
I think it’s easy to say “abortion is wrong” when you are not the victim.

I’ve met hardcore pro-lifers and they are adamant that even if they were brutalized and raped, they would still have the baby.

Realistically I think unless you’ve been brutalized and raped and became pregnant, you wouldn’t really know how you’d feel while in that position. It’s easy to be at arm’s length and tell people what to do or to be all preachy but it’s another thing to actually be in that position and do as you preach.

    if i was raped, i have some thoughts about what i would do but im not totally sure.. i am pro life now but i dont feel like im in any position to judge people in that have been through that
    my thoughts right now, is that i would keep the baby and i know that life isn’t fair. it doesnt mean that i have the right to take someone else’s life. someone else tried to take my rights, but that doesnt give me the right to do the same as them.. you know?
    i really hate it when people dont respect others opinions so i wont do the same as them, i mean especially if i dont know what its like
    but i am also very against murder and i would never do it. i’d just give the baby up for adoption (not foster care)

    Abortion is murder and murder is intrinsically evil, the circumstance doesn’t matter.

    My mom kept me solely because she believes abortion is wrong.

    She loved me. She cared for me. I wasnt physically abused, she made sure i had what i needed.

    But I saw the pain, it effected her parenting, and changed her entire life path.

    I am grateful, but if the other way would have saved her some pain, my life is not so great that I think its worth more than hers.

    Have you noticed everyone “pro-abortion” is already born?

    As for your rape scenario – that’s your softy pathetic opinion. You’d rather kill a defenceless child who never had it’s chance because of a crime committed by it’s father. If I was in that case I would either have the baby and have the child hunt down it’s father. Or would make that child something special in the world to repay all that hurt.

    Either way would bring justice or closure but simply killing it is letting off the rapist.

    You cannot blame an innocent baby for rape. I would have to make adjustments in my life and the rape could be dealt with through friends, family and professional help.

    Most people who are pro-life and young, immature, uneducated, and inexperienced in life (or are male).

    They think that having a baby is easy, and that pregnancy and delivery is painless, and that caring for a child is fun and free.

    Forget arguments about whether or not life starts at conception: let’s assume that we’re talking about people who think abortion is wrong, unless the pregnancy was a result of rape.

    Why does the kid’s heritage affect his right to live? Regardless of the circumstances of his conception, the kid still is a human being, and therefore it has rights. If you kill it, you are violating it’s right to survive. A woman who gets raped, gets pregnant, and gives birth to her child is not allowed to kill the kid after it’s born, regardless of how much the kid reminds her of the experience. So, why does the location of the child determine its eligibility to survive?
