The likely hood that this child will grow and thrive in a happy home greatly diminishes. The mother will try to raise the child till she a) breaks down, b) becomes regretful of, or c) worst of all abuses the child either mentally or physically because of the constant reminder of her attacker. All three of these scenarios will probably land the child in the nations bloated underfunded public foster care system. The child will bounce around from home to home to home until he/she is old enough to live on his or her own and by that point will either rise above which is not likely or will enter into our prison system. MOST scenarios lead to a not so happy life for the child. What is your source for this utter nonsense?
The fact that you just joined FR today makes me very suspicious.
I'll say this again. Given that only 1% of abortions are rape/incest, 1% of our discussion of abortion should be about rape/incest -- until we deal with the 99% of non-R/I abortions performed with impunity each and every day. Ditto if it were 5% or 10% - still a tiny minority.
Discussion of rape/incest muddies the water for the other 99% and slows progress. That is a possible rationale for your suspicion, wagglebee, although I'm inclined to give jumpstart the benefit of the doubt.
