It's best to keep the pregnancy for the following reasons:
1. The unborn child is completely innocent and , with good training, will not take after its father;
2. Abortion is tantamount to murder. The world will cry out if a criminal's 7 months old baby is taken to be executed with him in the firing squad;calling for the murder of the unborn babies because of their fathers' sin should also be denounced .
3. The abortion could result in the death of the mother; what then?
4. The abortion could lead to serious health complications/infertility for the mother; what then?
5. The child,if allowed to live, may become the consolation for its mother, rising above a dark background, refusing to be limited/defined by same; why not?

I totally disagree with you. There is no way those children will grow up 2b gud. D blood of their father runs in them.

If your sister was among those girls will u keep d baby! U jst talking bullshit

mmsen:


Is killing in self-defence wrong? Or would you lay down and allow yourself to murdered if some accosted you?

If the young lady was raped and became pregnant as a result then of course the pregnancy is the cause. Why should the baby be dragged into such a scenario? Is the girl not free to protect herself from further long term trauma for both her and the unwanted/unplanned pregnancy?

dammytosh:


Very easy to say until as a lady, you are raped by a close cousin or kidnapped by Boko Haram

Justfollowit:


You are a selfish being

soopamom:

are you comparing abortion to killing in self defence? the girl is free to choose whatever she wants, i'm just saying justifying it based on these circumstances is just...pfffft! what trauma are you talking about ? and how does killing an innocent babe in the womb compare to being accosted by murderers?

@yinkard4me you see wetin just happen na na na??!!!!! i helped you get your topic to front page buy copying the mods.. what is my prize?? What is my reward?? i no want orijin

booqee:


kai i'm jealous oo.. who is vickyrotex? so we don dey two for ur hand??



ok ok on a more serious note, i believe they should be given the option if they want abortion or not (hopefully they all choose a YES on it). I already stated in an earlier thread that its better they abort that pregnancy than keep it. really those women are barely able to fend for themselves talk less of another 'bastard' child (no insult meant pls), a child who would remind them of the disgusting ordeal they passed through. See its a sure thing that 95% of those women are alredy depressed or going through some other psychological trauma... and they definitely need to be helped out of the situation.. A boko haram child will not allow them to successfully pass that stage.

Abortion is a sin quite alright, but God is a merciful God... (I know that sounds like testing His patience)

booqee, jealousy is allowed........ BTW vickyrotex is a good friend dat almost served in my PPA buh was stowed away to the capital on NATIONAL ASSIGNMENT.

I'm here ooo

mmsen:


The emotional trauma that comes with having a child by a rapist.

We already know that most women struggle to raise children when the father of that child is no longer a part of the woman's life - how much worse must it be when the father is a rapist? What would that do to the self-esteem of the child?

This is a case of "oro yi so si mi lenu, o bu yo si"

Truth is, religion aside, abortion to me is immoral. I for once can't stand preventing an innocent kid from coming to this world to fulfil his or her purpose

But in this case, there are slim chances of those girls wanting to keep the babies, especially with the circumstances surrounding the conception.

Believe me, lots of these girls can't handle it. Those girls are so strong to have survived the ordeal, but not all of them can survive the next phase, I dont think it will be fair to them, by forcing them to keep the babies against their own will.

I had this same dicussion with someone yesterday, and she said If I dont support abortion, what if some of the girls dies during child birth, and I smiled, and asked her, what if some of the girls die during abortion too? She was tryna put her words together.

The truth is, either abortion or birthing the child, they are both risky.

Someone said, its better they die during abortion, than keep the babies. And I was . Really


One thing is, aborting those kids will not erase the trauma of those girls. Some will feel worse after the abortion. You know that.

I'll share a short story:

I took permission from a friend before deciding to share this.

She is a very close friend, the day she told me the situation that surrounded her birth, I was "wooowed" Her mum got married while she was young (19), at age 20, they got attacked by robbers and her mum's husband was killed, the mum raped. The mum decided to keep the pregnancy, Now, this girl is a result of that rape. Yea, she is. Now a motivational speaker, Now, someone lots of people wanna listen to her words of advice.

She'll publish the book soon, that talks about her ordeal. How she strived to survive, despite the discouragement from people.


Now, not all kids conceived from rape turns out to be bad afterall, lots of them choose to proove their fathers wrong, and in turn be a blessing to the society.

Now, someone might be saying, that's 1:20 in cases like this, but I'd just say let's look on the brighter side, let's be optimistic. Keeping those kids, wouldnt be a bad idea afterall.


In all, I'd just say, these girls should be given a free will to decide what they want and shouldnt be compelled or forced to.

If there's any of them willing to keep the pregnancies, (ofcourse, I know there'd be lots of them willing to) and wants to give the babies out for adoption or to NGO's, I already said it, I'm very much willing to adopt at most 5.

I'm sure there are various NGO's willing to help this ladies aswel. Trust me, some of these girls will go back to their kids in the future.

All said, abortion aint the best way out here, there are other ways out.

Medical practitioners should help out, and let each girl know her chances of surviving abortion or giving birth.


But in all I wouldnt blame/judge any of these girls if they abort the kids.

Does aborting the baby undo the rape? How will it take care of the trauma ? please help me understand that. if you cant deal, the give the child up for adoption. i would gladly adopt a child irrespective of his/her background and i know several other people that would do the same.

Orunto:
The seeds in them are bokoharam and so satanic. God gives the Doctors Skills to abort. Let them do their job.

luluosas:

Not matter what circumstances, no abortion because it is a dangerous crime against God

Kay17:


A crime against God has to be something that puts God in a grave danger. Since we often consider God to be above all dangers, there can be no crime against him. Only the foetus and you would be offended.

luluosas:

Can you give life? You definitely have no right to take the life you can't give.

soopamom:
Abortion is either right or wrong, there is no such thing as "in this instance". Dont kill is dont kill, it's not okay to kill just because you were raped or because a child's father is boko haram or bla bla bla. Abi is it the pregnancy that is responsible for your rape?
