I defended women who chose single motherhood who were rape victims against the absolutists on this thread that said NO woman should EVER choose to be a single mother and if they find themselves pregnant should put the child up for adoption.

So you are saying there is nothing wrong with the practice...after all, you have no idea if, or how often, such situations will turn out like your friend's. Don't you find your position somewhat doctrinaire?

I said no such thing. Therefore your question is irrelevent.

You are choosing to make an absolutist statement, I'm saying because there are exceptions to the rule the abosolutist ideal of all children conceived of rape should be placed for adoption is wrong.
