That's rather silly, and I've heard this argument many times. As Placebo said the child can turn out to be another Hitler or a serial killer. And most likely it will turn out to be a messed up mentally. Not to mention if it was a rape baby I guarantee that baby will have a looootttt of issues. That child will be unwanted and disliked through it's life. I rather see them dead then continue with life being hated and reminded of a rapist.Women have also been interviewed who have had an abortion, and almost all of them have regretted it every moment of their lives. And who is to say that that child who was aborted could have been the doctor who finds a cure for cancer, AID's or any other currently uncurable diesese. Or the leader who brings peace and prosperity to the world? When we abort a child, we abort out future.
As for the whole adoption thing, well, they're going to find out eventually why their parents abandoned them. It's going to be really tough for this person growing up without their real parents and finding out that they were a rape baby. Most likely the kid would end up in a foster home anyways. As Plaecbo said, it's a cycle that's not going to stop. Also crime rates went down when abortion became legal.
A mother's life is established. She has friends, family, a life. While her unborn child doesn't. If a mother cannot afford to take care of the unwanted baby then she should have every right to abort it. As well if she was a rape victim or had a health condition that could risk her life giving birth. Mother's life > BabyOne final thing.....if a mother were willing to kill her child, no matter how developed it was, what does that say about her ability to be a mother? I mean, doesnt that go against everything we learn about motherly love, how they should be willing to lay their life down for their child?
