Fellow NP Family, I noticed a plethora of topics about RAPE, Illegal Marriages involving Minors etc. on the boards and I raise this topic to know your stance and what you would do in some scenario/circumstance . It's easy to present an opinion until it becomes a personal experience. I'll provide a little background for the legality of the issue so you will be able to make an informed opinion and not just post something berserk that has nothing to do with the topic.
QUESTION: LADIES, IF YOU WERE RAPED BE IT STRANGER OR ACQUAINTANCE WOULD YOU HAVE AN ABORTION OR KEEP THE BABY? WOULD YOUR DECISION REST ON MORAL GROUNDS, FAMILY, RELIGIOUS AFFILIATION? WOULD YOUR DECISION CHANGE IF YOU KNEW YOUR LIFE WAS IN DANGER OR THE LOSS OF LIFE AS A RESULT OF HAVING THE BABY?
MEN: IF YOUR SPOUSE/SIGNIFICANT OTHER/SISTER/FRIEND ETC WAS RAPED WOULD YOU ENCOURAGE HER TO HAVE AN ABORTION? WOULD YOU SUPPORT HER DECISION OR LEAVE HER? IS YOUR DECISION INFLUENCED BY BELIEF, SOCIETY, ETC? IF HER LIFE IS IN DANGER WOULD YOU PERSIST SHE HAVE THE BABY?
BACKGROUND(THIS LAW IS IN THE U.S., NOT SURE IF NAIJA HAS A SIMILAR ONE) Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113 (1973),[1] was a landmark decision by the United States Supreme Court on the issue of abortion. The Court held that a woman's right to an abortion is determined by the stage of pregnancy, and the state cannot prohibit abortion before viability. After viability, the state cannot prohibit abortion if abortion "is necessary, in appropriate medical judgment, for the preservation of the life or health of the mother" as defined in the companion case of Doe v. Bolton.[2] The Court said that "viability" means "potentially able to live outside the mother's womb, albeit with artificial aid. Viability is usually placed at about seven months (28 weeks) but may occur earlier, even at 24 weeks."
The Court rested these conclusions on a constitutional right to privacy emanating from the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, also known as substantive due process.
In disallowing many state and federal restrictions on abortion in the United States,[3] Roe v. Wade prompted a national debate that continues today, about issues including whether and to what extent abortion should be legal, who should decide the legality of abortion, what methods the Supreme Court should use in constitutional adjudication, and what the role should be of religious and moral views in the political sphere

Interesting, but I wonder if yall not responding out of sentiment. IF this truly happened, WHO would want to bear that OMEN of carrying a child by someone who VIOLATED YOU? I wouldn't, that child would be a CONSTANT REMINDER and hence you may treat the child horrible.

whether morally, religiously, socially or whatever no one has any right to take anybody's life, the child came out of a circumstance that wasn't a fault of him/her...........so you have to give the child his right to live.

hmm is difficult... as for my religion i cant do the abortion...
But for myself, knowing the child didnt come out of love matter...it is very difficult to keep the baby and take care of it the way u should !
U're practically suggesting an Orphanage home right? talking abt love matter... Dont u blv the child is urs? the fact that it came out of ur womb has made it urs, u have no choice than to love that child as ur own. U never heard of cases where a woman just mate wth a man just for baby not that she loves the man A single parent can raise a child and at the same time be happy
