I would never abort it, I am completely and totally against abortion no matter what the circumstance. However, to keep him/her or to give him/her away? It would be a constant reminder of what happened, however I could not punish the child especially if I could give him/her a good home... In the end, I believe I would keep the baby.

I would put the baby up for adoption if I was young but now I would probably keep it or put it up for adoption. It would be hard but it was not the babies fault. With all bad things you can find something good.Just my opinion though. Well I have been raped and luckily I did not become pregnant.

It is honestly too much work for someone so young, it'd ruin your reputation. I wouldn't get an abortion in any other situation, but this one probably. well really, i wouldn’t want to suffer the consequences of having a baby as a teen when it wasn’t even your fault.

Too many variables go into it, the person's own beliefs about abortion, their life situation, their age, if they could carry the baby to give up for adoption, etc. People can easily say what they would do, but until they are actually in that situation and going through it themselves, who know what they'd really do? It's all just speculation until then. I think I would carry the baby to term and give it up for adoption.

I think about this often actually because I know if I carried it full-term I would want to keep it because of the bond you feel for your baby, but I wouldn't want to keep it because I'm afraid I wouldn't love it as much as I love the baby my husband and I created, and on the other hand I am not ok with abortions but rape is one case where I think it is ok but I just don't know if I would be able to have an abortion.... I do have to say I am VERY thankful for young mother who do get raped and decide to not have an abortion... my husbands mother was raped when she was 17 and she decided to keep him and now I have the love of my life... I know it doesn't really answer your question but its just my thoughts about each of the options This is a hard one… if I was a teen I would have probably given it up for adoption… but now that I’m married and have my own baby on the way I honestly have no idea what I would do… I think about this often actually because I know if I carried it full-term I would want to keep it because of the bond you feel for your baby, but I wouldn’t want to keep it because I’m afraid I wouldn’t love it as much as I love the baby my husband and I created, and on the other hand I am not ok with abortions but rape is one case where I think it is ok but I just don’t know if I would be able to have an abortion….
