[One, Two, Middlesboogie]

I do not think a mother should have to have the baby if she was raped. What's she going to say when the child asks who its dad was? He was an evil, selfish bastard who cared more about satisfying his own carnal lusts and to hell with the consequences than the feelings of another human being, who he traumatised for life.

Rape is a horrible, horrible thing. Many women commit suicide because of it. The last thing anyone who has been through it wants is to be reminded of it. I'm not saying it's the baby's fault, but it'd be terrible for the mother to be reminded of it all the time and the child live with the knowledge that its father was a despicable criminal. 'Do her duty as a mother'? Bollocks! A woman who is the victim of rape has no such duty. Why should she bear a child forcibly given to her against her will?!
