Also, I wasn't saying that you should force your child to abort. I'm saying that you should let her decide, and support whatever decision she makes.

No I have never had a child resulting from rape. But I was raped and had the possibility of being pregnant and plenty of time to think about it before knowing I wasn't. I can say with absolute certainty I would NOT have chosen abortion.
A 13 year old girl is nowhere near mature enough to make a decision like that. As a parent I would and should make it for her. It's cut and dry for me and my family. Abortion is never an option no matter the conception.
I know someone who got pregnant at 17 and didn't tell her parents.She didn't tell anyone at all except the father. She thought she made the right choice and at 17 walked into a clinic where 30 year old adults took her baby from her body with no parental consent.
To this day she suffers the agonizing pain of what she did. Her regret is not telling her parents who she knew would not have allowed it to happen. She told me about it all when she was 38. She is 40 years old now with no children. She feels undeserving of being a mother.
It ruined her life totally. She gave up on all of her dreams and ambitions. All because of that decision she was way too young to make on her own. She is married to the father of that baby. Their lives are a total mess. They agonize daily about the choice they made. They think they will burn in hell for what they did.
She tells me that they have both had nightmares of that baby crying for them. They see that baby in all of their neices and nephews.
That someone is my sister. I love her to death and she killed her baby. Plain and simple she killed her baby. Nothing will ever change my mind about abortion. It will and does ruin lives.
