Adoption in the case of rape? What's wrong with that?
Oh, do you think the baby should be killed instead?
Nope, I see nothing wrong with raising the child yourself in the case of rape.

I've been reading this thread since it was posted, and have some issues with the entire idea and so decided to sit it out.......until now.
Marajade has taken quite a bit of abuse for her stance here and has held her own, but because of a situation in my life I have to chime in here.
My daughter is almost 8, her best friend just turned 8. Her best friend's mother has become a close friend of mine, even though she is close to half my age. My daughter's best friend was conceived of a rape. My friend chose to have and keep her baby even though she was only 16 at the time. I would nominate this young woman as mother of the year in a heartbeat.
She has since married and now also has a 19 month old and you would never know that the older girl is not Daddy's girl. and at the risk of the wrath of my own husband and father of my child, I would nominate him as father of the year for BOTH of those girls.
We do not live in a cookie cutter world and there are no absolutes.
