I voted no but medical attention should be immediate.

Thats punishing the mother too. Forcing her to raise her rapists child, forcing her into a life she didn't choose.

Axl, you are forgetting adoption. But then again, most people usually do forget adoption. It is a perfectly viable option, especially in this type of case.

Except for the child, I guess…

So you prefer women using coat hangars in a back alley to remove the fetus ( not a baby) ?

No, moron, we prefer women going through with the pregnancy and then, if necessary, putting the child (not a fetus) up for adoption. Only a minuscule number of women ever "need" to abort their babies, and those are the very few women with ectopic or tubal pregnancies which will kill both mother and child if allowed to continue.

Delusional. You don't like abortion and you don't like welfare but u think unwanted fetuses are eventually adoptable ? You must live in a gated community - totally out of touch .

No! You're delusional! You want to kill babies! You know if someone ever killed a born baby you would call that guy delusional! There's no difference between abortion and killing a baby that's born!

I will bet you would kill a dr or nurse to save protoplasm. Makes no sense. Just so you can convince yourself your first century thinking is the only way.

That makes no sense! You are putting up half ass points to defend you're useless thoughtless opinion!

I don't live in a gated community; I'm not rich; I don't suffer from "white privilege." Take your assumptions and stuff them somewhere, and learn to ask friendly questions of strangers instead of just assuming we're all your oppressors and enemies. Here, watch carefully:
• I don't know you at all, but it seems from some of your comments that you might be black. Am I right in assuming that?
See, I asked a friendly question, without any hostility or prejudice. Now see if you can respond with a civil answer, and maybe a question about MY background. I'll wait quietly.

It is disturbing how easily people forget adoption. All she has to do is put the child up for adoption, and then no one has to die for the father's crime.

Check out how well foster homes work out for kids before you think there is a home out there for every kid

Better to have a kid that I'm a foster home then to be dead!

Statistically, for every child aborted in the US, there is a couple waiting to adopt him or her. No need to enter the foster system.

If she chooses to kill her child rather than put it up for adoption, how can anyone NOT have a negative opinion of such a heartless decision?

So you're basically saying it's ok that man raped that woman and made her pregnant? It isn't a heartless decision, people die every hour of everyday. Sure in the eyes of the public her decision may not be popular, but she was raped it should be her decision to get rid of the child or not. Afterall she didn't get a choice when a man raped her and humiliated her.

No. I will preface my answer by saying that it seems that you may be a rape victim, and if that is the case, I am extremely sorry and you have my deepest sympathy's. However, I am by no means saying that it's OK that the woman was raped. I would love to see harsher penalties for rapists, and I'm not sure that I would oppose the death penalty in some rape cases. But I am absolutely opposed to giving the death penalty to the innocent child produced by that horrendous act. That child is still a human being with the right to life. I am saying that if the mother chooses to have the child murdered instead of taking the easy option of putting the child up for adoption, she is making a heartless decision, and I don't see how you can possibly refute that. Frankly, no one deserves the choice to end another human being's life, unless you are killing an adult attacker in self-defense.

Correction it's a potential baby - not a baby

I don't know anything about you, and you don't know anything about me. But don't EVER presume to "correct" my word choice. I'm recognized as the resident SoH expert on the English language. If I choose to say "baby," it's because I have a reason to do so.
