I don't think a woman should be forced to have an abortion. That would be a difficult situation but she would be the person having the baby and I think you'd have to respect her decision.

Gotcha, but I would think it takes some serious nerves, love, ego aside setting for many men to actually deal with that initially I guess.
Yeah, I agree, and I think that in many cases it would cause a breakup in the marriage. I don't think the idea of raising the child of the man who raped your wife would be very appealing to many men. It would be a terrible situation.
As a female I would have an abortion. No question about it. While I understand and respect the pro-life stance I feel it is my body and my choice. I certainly wouldn't consider the rapists rights in the matter and if I had a husband I think that choice would be better for our relationship.
I see a much wider question here.
I personally am a freedom of choice person and as such have no problem with abortion. With that out of the way I look to legal issues and responsibility for the child. Montana thinks it should be just the woman choice. I question in the event of a divorce, which is common in marriages with high stress, as well as higher in religious relationships as apposed to atheist relationships, there arise the question of who would be responsible for the child. If the husband has no say in the abortion issue how can the husband have the responsibility of the child after a divorce?
Bottom issue after a child is born is the child, but without a buy in from both husband and wife I just don’t see how one can be burden with the desire of the other.
I consider myself "Pro Life". Like what is the alternative? "Pro-Death"?
Labels are made to add weight to an image.
I do support abortion, and a woman's right to choose abortion if she wishes.
A man is not carrying the fetus, and like in your case the bio-father was a rapist who is now gone from the picture. So it does lessen any argument for bio-fathers having a say in what a woman does with her body.
Just because a person may feel they are pro life does not mean they always want to keep the child after. Wouldnt the most simple solution in this hypothetical question be to go through the pregnancy and then give the child up for adoption? That way all parties are somewhat comforted.
