As someone who has gone through quite a bit in three pregnancies, including bed rest, medication that made me physically ill and extended hospitalization, saying a woman can just have the baby and put it up for adoption is a bit of a stretch. Carrying a child to term is not always an easy task. Labor and delivery of a child of rape would be emotionally devistating to many women. It may be an innocent child, but the violence would remain seared into her body and soul.
