By chance you run into a rape victim or your friend or close relation was raped, what will be your advice for such a person? Read people's opinion here: http://www.skywardmagazine.com/2016/05/opinion-is-it-wrong-for-rape-victim-to.html

in as much as I don't support abortions, but rape resulting to pregnancy Could be hectic and traumatic, I will advise the victim to visit the nearest hospital for a total clean up thereby taking off the unwanted pregnancy even before she actually finds out that she is pregnant for conscience sake.

This is actually the first comment, and the best answer...
After that unfortunate act has happened, you just gotta visit the nearest hospital before silly things unfolds.
Other readers can attest to this....

thank u

Her pregnancy, her choice. If she's below the age of consent then her parents make the decision for her.

Look at the pix of the foetus and tell me what the child dd wrong to have his/her life terminated!

That could have been anybody u kno!

You will notice from the thread nobody remembered that the foetus could be a product of rape. All you see is Gods beautiful handwork with nothing to show that he or she is a product of rape.

If u r a christian, maybe I shd ask u this! What if Mary had second thoughts about giving birth to Jesus and she aborted him!

I am Pro-life whether rape or not!

Yes, it might b traumatic for the mother that is why she can give the child up at an opharnage or to a family that needs that "rejected stone" and build something out of his/her life.

If I could comprehend your mention correctly, you ain't in support of abortion irrespective of whatever means it was gotten from, right? ... Though am a Christian but not a fanatic.. But something strikes me from what the psalmist wrote in psalm 139 vs 16, when he said " God's eyes even saw him as an embryo; All its parts were written in your(God's) book Regarding the days when they were formed, Before any of them existed."
No embryo isn't noticed in God's eye.. Why take the life away? The best thing any lady could do is what mii4u has said.. So as not to be guilty.

u didn't digest my post very well, I strongly do not support abortion, I said before the victim finds out the amount of damage that might have bin caused her by the rapist, she should go for a total clean up thereby getting rid of some ST'S and other things, if she was pregnant, it wld have bin taken care of by the clean up even without her knowing, but bin fully aware of a pregnancy and aborting it is a NO NO for me.

Mary's case is quite different from Wat we are saying here, she was assured by the Holy spirit and got a confirmation with her hubby who as okay with it . I. talking abt a rape victim that cld have bin exposed to a lot of Sexually Transmitted Diseases, so u becos u were raped u must not go and take care of ur health. The Bible teaches that Wisdom is profitable to direct. that passage speaks volumes.

I never countered ur position on cleaning up medically and i totally agree with you but you are speaking from a point of "pre pregnancy period" which is usually done in 24 to 72 hrs to get rid of STI's and all sort, but the question i think is about a full pregnancy which could happen in a matter of weeks.

This is the point my position addresses!

The example of mary i gave was to buttress my belief in non abortion and lyk u said she was assured by the holy spirit but it doesnt make His conception any less controversial jst lyk any other unwanted pregnancy whether as a result of rape or not!

Hope we are now on the same page!

Fanatic? Is that how you see anybody who doesnt seem to agree with your position? Seriosly?

Anywy i never countered mii4u, i only broadened how far-reaching the question could get!

Mii4u answerd from the point of immediately or almost immediately the rape occurs and there are no signs of pregnancy yet...she is right. I took it a step further by answerin the question if the girl is already pregnant which occurs from a few weeks. At that point cleaning up medically lyk she posited might only take care of STI's and not the pregnnacy EXCEPT you are goin in for an abortion and medically cleaning up is NOT abortion in the 24-72 hrs period!

Simples

Let's be realistic.
No victim of rape will love to keep a baby that was a product of an abuse.
The first thing hat must be done whenever this occurs is to go for medical clean up, this will help prevent pregnancy and exposure to some sexually transmitted diseases.
Meanwhile, if pregnancy eventually arises from this, it is left for the lady to decide whether to keep it or not because she'll be the one to bear the pains for life.
There are legally permitted medical abortions, this is one of such cases and can be done without breaking any law of the land.
Nevertheless, the only thing that those around her can do is to take care of her and give her godly advise. She can probably be advised to take the child to a motherless baby home if she can endure the pains that is attached during pre-birth; at least this will prevent murder as some very religious people will say.
