Having my rapist's baby is the best thing I ever did.... [Photo]

The party was a rare night out. Raised in a devout, Christian family in Reading, Berks, I was more used to going to choir practice than clubs with friends.

(snip-she was drugged)

Coming from such a Christian family, I've never believed in abortion, but suddenly finding myself pregnant with a rapist's baby, I looked at it differently.

After seeking counselling, I decided to go ahead with the termination.

As I walked down the corridor in a hospital gown to the operating theatre, I asked myself over and over: 'Am I doing the right thing?'

Suddenly, I was overcome by a rush of love for the child inside me. I didn't understand why, but in that moment what had felt like an alien suddenly felt like a child.

They told me there was a policeman waiting to take away the foetus for DNA analysis as part of the rape case, but I told them to send him away. I told the nurse: 'I can't do this.'

Then, smoothing my hand over my small bump, I said: 'It's you and me now, kid.'

(Snip) When she's old enough, I will tell ******** about how she was conceived.

But I'll also tell her about the moment I decided to keep her, and how I felt all this love for her, love that is even stronger now.

Watching her grow up, I feel lucky to have her in my life: I love her with all my heart. I also feel that by speaking out about what happened to me I will empower other women.

My life is proof that something good can come from something so terrible. And I don't regret my last minute change of heart one bit.

I guess I’ll never understand why the baby must be killed in these cases. While rape is a horrible thing to experience, how can it be the child’s fault that it happened?

COURAGE!

Remember, to all those who would quickly prefer that the rapist's baby be killed, it is half the mother's as well.

REALITY!
It was not a free will encounter that led to the pregnancy.

First of, that lady is beautiful ... morally as well as physcially.

Second, the little girl is astonishingly fortunate.

Liberals will do their utmost to make sure the rapist is kept from the Electric Chair, while eagerly waiting in the wings to kill the innocent child and convince the mother to do so.

While rape is violent, the death of the child-to-be would add even more violence. Two acts of violence won’t get you over the rape more quickly than an act of violence combined with an act of love. Plaudits to this lady. Her child is beautiful.

Agreed.

You can never be in a place too dark or too deep for the Lord to reach you.

Good for her. I hope the bastard that did this to her gets AIDS and dies a slow, horrible death.

I get it. The child has no right to be born.

That mother has some really amazing courage. Her child is fortunate to have the mother she does.
Mom is so not guilty.

Two wrongs will never, ever make a right.

Every life is precious, no matter how it was conceived.

I remember the words of another woman who chose to bear her child - that she didn’t know who the father was, but she damned well knew who the mother was.
