Back to the rape baby thing, if you don't want to give it up for adoption and put the baby into care as they can be horrible places, then why not, early on, have the fetus transfered to another womens womb? This can be done, and you would not necessarily have to pay for it - the women who wants the baby usually does.
And I apologise for accusing people of attacking me, I was feeling a bit sensitive, I am sorry, the point of a debate is to argue pretty much.

So abortion isn't murder if it's at less than 6 weeks? So basically you're saying that abortion is okay, it's just an issue of timing?
Okay, I've never heard of a fetus being able to be transferred from one womb to another, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. Would you care to provide some sort of website that details that procedure? However, it seems to me that there would be very few women in the world who would want to have a procedure like that. If they are in need of IVF, don't they usually use their own eggs?
Also, transferring the fetus still carries the issue of women seeing the baby as "a rapist's baby". There is still the issue of possible mental disorders and the child still carries that stigma. In cases where the women is simply too young or unfit or doesn't want the baby, this might be suitable; but, for pregnancies by rape, there are still all the same problems.

And also, yes I know some girls do hit puberty at such a young age...but the majority of 10 year olds have not began, so couldn't get pregnant anyway!

But if the boy isn't 16? If the boy doesn't understand any more about sex than the girl? I feel like you're ignoring the main point of my question.
If someone gets pregnant due to someone else neglecting to teach them about sex, is an abortion reasonable? As I pointed out, even older teenagers still believe that withdrawal is an effective means of preventing pregnancy. Or that you can't get a girl pregnant while she has her period. A lot of that is due to the preaching of abstinence rather than safe sex. And if people have no idea that there is more to know about sex, how will they know to look for more information?
(And although it is unrelated, the majority of girls get their first period at 12-13, and a lot of 12 year olds do not know any more about sex than 10 year olds)
