“Who are we to play God?”
If you don’t want to play God, then you would let nature take its course, and that baby would be born.
Here are some stories from people who were themselves conceived in rape.

The genes of one parent really aren’t such a determining factor in life. Every life came separately from God and is its own.
First of all, the unfortunate reality is that she is already carrying the baby. The question is, should she be permitted to kill the baby?
Second of all, it is also HER baby. A child should not die for the crime of his/her father. I read an article from a woman who actually is pro-abortion, but her daughter was conceived in rape. She said one of the most hurtful things that anyone can say about her daughter is comparing her daughter to her father. She said people act like her daughter must be a bad person because of who her father is, and she said her daughter is a wonderful person, and it breaks her heart to hear people talk that way. We wouldn’t judge a born child and kill the born child if his/her father is a criminal and he/she has “horrible genes”. We can’t do that to the unborn child either. There have been people raised in idyllic circumstances with two normal parents who turn out to be evil and people who have been raised in horrible circumstances with a bad parent(s) who turn out to be good. It’s absolutely not our job to judge.
Rape is a horrible, aggressive act. However, transferring aggression by killing an innocent bystander, the woman’s own child, is not right.
The rape exception was a foot in the door for the abortion industry to expand abortion to what it is today. Society is screwed up in that what is considered “merciful” is not saying protect both lives because ultimately, it can’t undo the rape, what is considered merciful is killing the child. If abortion mentality didn’t exist and a culture of life did, we would support the woman and the child.
IF you are pro-life because you believe the unborn child is a person, then the child should be protected under the 5th and 14th amendments to the Constitution. A person has a right to life unless they are guilty of some crime which takes that right away.
I find it interesting that you say “stop trying to live people’s life instead of them.” That’s the entire argument for the abortion industry. Also, it’s very ironic you say that while you are arguing for the right of a woman to take a person’s life. The unborn child won’t get to live that life. It’s easy for people to stand there and say it is the merciful, compassionate thing, but not a single person saying that has to die the way the unborn child will die. The child will either be sucked in pieces through a tube or the child will be dismembered in the womb, the pieces removed one by one. What a horrible way to die for only the crime of existing. The child never asked to be here. Not a single person born would want to die that way yet feel perfectly comfortable arguing for an unborn child to die that way. We don’t even kill our most hardened criminals in such a manner.
