(25,592 posts)In the first, is just a obviously wrong opinion. And easily proved wrong.
The second panel is saying the rape victim has to carry the resulting pregnancy to term. No choice there. Carrying the evidence of your rape for 9 months is just plain wrong, period. It can also be emotionally damaging. Many rapists have genetic mental problems, that are passed on to the 'child', perpetuating the problem in another 15 to 20 years.
The mother keeps the child and has serous problems with its behavior. Or give it up for adoption and palm the problems off a innocent couple, who have no idea what they are in for. How is that a good thing?
