Adoption is the way to do things, not abortion, give the baby up for a family who will love it despite its violent beginning.
My ex's birth dad used to kick the shit out of him and his mum, but my ex didnt turn out to kick the shit out of others. There isn't a "rape gene" thats passed on or anything.
Abortion is murder. period.

But some people don't want the baby because it reminds them of the rape, I think that's perfectly acceptable. I probably couldn't bear to have a baby by a rapist simply because I think it would be too psychologically damaging for me. It's not just that people think that there is a "rape gene".

Also, there are already so many children in the world who need parents to look after them. I don't agree with not having an abortion when you know it's going to end up in care. I think personally it would be better if I had an abortion than put my child up for adoptiuon/incare.

Finally, abortion isn't actually murder since murder is the unlawful killing of someone and abortion is legal.
