I'm curious as to what type of psychological impact do you think killing an unborn baby will have? At some point she is going to realize that she has killed someone that did nothing wrong and then what?

She will remember the rape every single day pregnant or not..why add insult to injury?

How do you explain this decision to a child..as in a young woman that is your child..."I know I have told you your entire life that abortion is wrong, but in your case it is ok..forget all that stuff about it being a baby and go ahead and kill it b/c the father is evil" ??

A lot of women will have no regrets whatsoever about terminating a pregnancy, especially when it's done very early. I know a couple of women who had abortions when they were young, and later married and had children. They don't regret it. They know the only reason they're able to provide a decent life for the children they did have was because they didn't screw up their lives and education and finances by having a baby when they were in no position to raise it decently. Some women do have regrets, but it's hardly a given.

I seriously doubt there are many women who have regrets about having aborted a pregnancy that was caused by rape or incest, or would have any trouble telling their daughters about it. Most mothers would prefer that their daughters not have to live with the fear that the horror of a rape could then be followed by 9 months of the horror of being forced to carry the rapist's baby to term.
